ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-6364: --------------------------------------- Github user StefanRRichter commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3801 About 3., i think the self-consolidating/pruning nature of RocksDB w.r.t. the SSTables makes it feasible to make all checkpoints incremental, because the delta does not grow indefinately for a constant backend size. All savepoints would be full and self-contained. > Implement incremental checkpointing in RocksDBStateBackend > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-6364 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6364 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: State Backends, Checkpointing > Reporter: Xiaogang Shi > Assignee: Xiaogang Shi > > {{RocksDBStateBackend}} is well suited for incremental checkpointing because > RocksDB is base on LSM trees, which record updates in new sst files and all > sst files are immutable. By only materializing those new sst files, we can > significantly improve the performance of checkpointing. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
