Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2512 Had an in-depth code walkthrough with @StefanRRichter - comments are addresses as additional commits. Comments: - Use `StateDescriptor` as well for operator state - For the `snapshotState()` and `prepareSnapshot()` calls, the checkpoint timestamp should be passed as well. - The Kafka Consumer should use the same state as the `snapshotState()` interface, so as to allow for backwards compatible checkpoints/savepoints.
