Hi John, Logically the maximum retained checkpoints are configured by state.checkpoints.num-retained [1]. Have you configured this option?

Hi running 1.10.0. Just curious is this specific to externalized retention or checkpointing in general. I see my checkpoint folder counting thousands of chk-xxxxx folders. If using default checkpoint or NONE externalized checkpointing does the count of chk-xxxx folders grow indefinitely until the job is killed or it retains up to certain amount? Thanks
