Stefan Richter created FLINK-6556: ------------------------------------- Summary: Include and expose Flink version in the savepoint data Key: FLINK-6556 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6556 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: State Backends, Checkpointing Reporter: Stefan Richter
I think it could make sense to include the flink version (notice: this can be tracked independently from the savepoint format version that we currently store!) from which a savepoint was taken in the meta data and expose it to the restore process, passing it through until e.g. the {{FunctionInitializationContext}}. This makes it much easier for code to derive certain behaviour for backwards compatibility. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
