https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1668
For raw operator state, override
`AbstractStreamOperator::snapshotState(StateSnapshotContext context)` inside
your operator. Your implementation calls to super, then it can obtain the raw
stream via `context.getRawOperatorStateOutput()`. This stream works like a
normal output stream, except that you can also call
`stream.startNewPartition()`. This signals that a partition is started and
previous partitions are finalized/immutable. Partitions are the atomic units of
state redistribution, think of them as the indiviual elements in a
`ListCheckpointed` state.
For restoring, override
`AbstractStreamOperator::initializeState(StateInitializationContext context)`.
After calling super, `context.getRawOperatorStateInputs()` provides an iterable
with one input stream per partition that your operator should restore.

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DataStream API
> Reporter: Paris Carbone
> Assignee: Paris Carbone
>
> 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.
