Konstantin Knauf reopened FLINK-14653: -------------------------------------- Re-opening in accordance with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-23206. > Job-related errors in snapshotState do not result in job failure > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-14653 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14653 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Runtime / Checkpointing > Reporter: Maximilian Michels > Priority: Minor > Labels: auto-closed > > When users override {{snapshoteState}}, they might include logic there which > is crucial for the correctness of their application, e.g. finalizing a > transaction and buffering the results of that transaction, or flushing events > to an external store. Exceptions occurring should lead to failing the job. > Currently, users must make sure to throw a {{Throwable}} because any > {{Exception}} will be caught by the task and reported as checkpointing error, > when it could be an application error. > It would be helpful to update the documentation and introduce a special > exception that can be thrown for job-related failures, e.g. > {{ApplicationError}} or similar. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
