---------------------------------------
Hey Paris, how urgent is this feature for you? I have a master student who
would love to give this implementation a try if it is not an immediate task on
your side.

> The current snapshotting algorithm cannot support cycles in the execution
> graph. An alternative scheme can potentially include records in-transit
> through the back-edges of a cyclic execution graph (ABS [1]) to achieve the
> same guarantees.
> One straightforward implementation of ABS for cyclic graphs can work as
> follows along the lines:
> 1) Upon triggering a barrier in an IterationHead from the TaskManager start
> block output and start upstream backup of all records forwarded from the
> respective IterationSink.
> 2) The IterationSink should eventually forward the current snapshotting epoch
> barrier to the IterationSource.
> 3) Upon receiving a barrier from the IterationSink, the IterationSource
> should finalize the snapshot, unblock its output and emit all records
> in-transit in FIFO order and continue the usual execution.
> --
> Upon restart the IterationSource should emit all records from the injected
> snapshot first and then continue its usual execution.
> Several optimisations and slight variations can be potentially achieved but
> this can be the initial implementation take.
