----------------------------------
>From the number shared, I do agree that this is an improvement/major.
> Triggered checkpoints can be delayed by discarding shared state

> Key: FLINK-26306
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-26306
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Checkpointing
> Affects Versions: 1.15.0, 1.14.3
> Reporter: Roman Khachatryan
> Assignee: Roman Khachatryan
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.16.0
>
>
> Quick note: CheckpointCleaner is not involved here.
> When a checkpoint is subsumed, SharedStateRegistry schedules its unused
> shared state for async deletion. It uses common IO pool for this and adds a
> Runnable per state handle. ( see SharedStateRegistryImpl.scheduleAsyncDelete)
> When a checkpoint is started, CheckpointCoordinator uses the same thread pool
> to initialize the location for it. (see
> CheckpointCoordinator.initializeCheckpoint)
> The thread pool is of fixed size
> [jobmanager.io-pool.size|https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/deployment/config/#jobmanager-io-pool-size];
> by default it's the number of CPU cores) and uses FIFO queue for tasks.
> When there is a spike in state deletion, the next checkpoint is delayed
> waiting for an available IO thread.
> Back-pressure seems reasonable here (similar to CheckpointCleaner); however,
> this shared state deletion could be spread across multiple subsequent
> checkpoints, not neccesarily the next one.
> ----
> I believe the issue is an pre-existing one; but it particularly affects
> changelog state backend, because 1) such spikes are likely there; 2)
> workloads are latency sensitive.
> In the tests, checkpoint duration grows from seconds to minutes immediately
> after the materialization.
