Hi, This is the serialised data for the checkpoint. This is not meant to be user readable, though. There are some plans to make savepoints adhere to a specific schema, so that you could inspect savepoints (which are similar to checkpoints, but with additional metadata [1]). I'm not sure whether this will make it into Flink 1.4, though.
