ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-4814: --------------------------------------- Github user uce commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2752 @StephanEwen Do you have time to look at this? This exposes the checkpoint directories via the state backend and let's the JobManager use that one for checkpoint directory configurations. > Remove extra storage location for externalized checkpoint metadata > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-4814 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4814 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Ufuk Celebi > > Follow up for FLINK-4512. > Store checkpoint meta data in checkpoint directory. That makes it simpler > for users to track and clean up checkpoints manually, if they want to retain > externalized checkpoints across cancellations and terminal failures. > Every state backend needs to be able to provide a storage location for the > checkpoint metadata. The memory state backend would hence not work with > externalized checkpoints, unless one sets explicitly a parameter > `setExternalizedCheckpointsLocation(uri)`. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
