sunjincheng commented on FLINK-15253: ------------------------------------- Yes, [~mxm] , from the points of my view, anyway, I think it's a good idea to decouple the accumulators from the heartbeat. > Accumulators are not checkpointed > --------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-15253 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15253 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: API / DataStream, Runtime / Checkpointing > Reporter: Maximilian Michels > Priority: Major > > Accumulators are not checkpointed which make them relatively useless for > streaming applications. They are also tied to the heartbeat (FLINK-15252), > which makes them fragile. > We could consider deactivating accumulators in streaming mode since they seem > to originally be a batch feature. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
