This is helpful for streaming programs which enable checkpointing. By default, a fixed delay restart strategy is chosen if there is no other restart strategy defined. +## Failover Strategies + +Flink supports different failover strategies which can be configured via the configuration parameter +*jobmanager.execution.failover-strategy* in Flink's configuration file `flink-conf.yaml`. + +<table class="table table-bordered"> + <thead> + <tr> + <th class="text-left" style="width: 50%">Failover Strategy</th> + <th class="text-left">Value for jobmanager.execution.failover-strategy</th> + </tr> + </thead> + <tbody> + <tr> + <td>Restart all</td> + <td>full</td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td>Restart pipelined region</td> + <td>region</td> + </tr> + </tbody> +</table> + +### Restart All Strategy + +With this strategy, all tasks in the job will be restarted to recover from a task failure. + +### Restart Pipelined Region Strategy + +With this strategy, tasks to restart depend on the regions to restart. +A region is defined by this strategy as tasks that communicate via pipelined data exchange. Review comment: I think there is very little documentation about pipelined and batch data exchange. However, the user should be able to make use of the _"restart pipelined region strategy"_ after reading this section. We could place a hyperlink from this page to one of the following documents or both: 1. https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.8/api/java/org/apache/flink/api/common/ExecutionMode.html 1. https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.8/dev/execution_configuration.html WDYT? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
