Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-4814: ----------------------------------------- Yes I think this is still a problem and I think it's part of a larger problem that I'm trying to address in this one-pager: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q8hkpl2VVXrbEaJkQNe88kuus0F5wFFiebub9hqrg1s/edit?usp=sharing I'm just laying out what I would like to have, no solutions yet, though. What do you think? > Remove extra storage location for externalized checkpoint metadata > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-4814 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4814 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: State Backends, Checkpointing > Reporter: Ufuk Celebi > > Follow up for FLINK-4512. > Store checkpoint meta data in checkpoint directory. That makes it simpler > for users to track and clean up checkpoints manually, if they want to retain > externalized checkpoints across cancellations and terminal failures. > Every state backend needs to be able to provide a storage location for the > checkpoint metadata. The memory state backend would hence not work with > externalized checkpoints, unless one sets explicitly a parameter > `setExternalizedCheckpointsLocation(uri)`. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
