Hi Vino,
So I will use the default setting of DELETE_ON_CANCELLATION. When the
program cancels the checkpoint will be deleted, when the program fails,because
the checkpoint will not be deleted, I still can have a checkpoint that can be
used to resume.
Please help to correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks.
Best
Henry
