Ufuk Celebi created FLINK-5007: ---------------------------------- Summary: Retain externalized checkpoint on suspension Key: FLINK-5007 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5007 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: State Backends, Checkpointing Reporter: Ufuk Celebi Assignee: Ufuk Celebi Fix For: 1.2.0
Externalized checkpoints are cleaned up when the job is suspended. Suspensions happen on graceful shut down (non-HA) or loss of leadership (HA). In case of HA, the checkpoint store does not clean up any checkpoints as they might be recovered by a new leader. The only way to stop a HA job is to actually cancel it. Therefore the configured clean up behaviour doesn't matter. In case of non-HA, suspensions happen because of graceful shut down (for example stopping a YARN session). In this case I would treat the clean up behaviour similar to cancelling the job. {code} ExternalizedCheckpointCleanup.DELETE_ON_CANCELLATION => delete on suspension ExternalizedCheckpointCleanup.RETAIN_ON_CANCELLATION => retain on suspension {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
