I find the checkpoint directory structure is like this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134820 2015-09-23 16:55 /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1442998500000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134768 2015-09-23 17:00 /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1442998800000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134895 2015-09-23 17:05 /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1442999100000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134899 2015-09-23 17:10 /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1442999400000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134913 2015-09-23 17:15 /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1442999700000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134928 2015-09-23 17:20 /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1443000000000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134987 2015-09-23 17:25 /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1443000300000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134944 2015-09-23 17:30 /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1443000600000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134956 2015-09-23 17:35 /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1443000900000 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135244 2015-09-23 17:40 /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1443001200000 drwxr-xr-x - root root 0 2015-09-23 18:48 /user/root/checkpoint/d3714249-e03a-45c7-a0d5-1dc870b7d9f2 drwxr-xr-x - root root 0 2015-09-23 17:44 /user/root/checkpoint/receivedBlockMetadata
I restart spark and it reads from /user/root/checkpoint/d3714249-e03a-45c7-a0d5-1dc870b7d9f2. But it seems that the data in it lost some rdds so it is not able to recovery. While I find other directories in checkpoint/, like /user/root/checkpoint/checkpoint-1443001200000. What does it used for? Can I recovery my data from that?
