Elias Levy created FLINK-10372: ---------------------------------- Summary: There is no API to configure the timer state backend Key: FLINK-10372 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10372 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: DataStream API, State Backends, Checkpointing Affects Versions: 1.6.0 Reporter: Elias Levy
Flink 1.6.0, via FLINK-9485, introduced the option to store timers in RocksDB instead of the heap. Alas, this can only be configured via the {{state.backend.rocksdb.timer-service.factory}} config file option. That means that the choice of state backend to use for timer can't be made on a per job basis on a shared cluster. There is a need for an API in {{RocksDBStateBackend}} to configure the backend per job. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
