----------------------------------------
[~mjsax]
Can we use ".store" extension and "store file" naming?
> Add Checkpoint for In-memory State Store
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-3184
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3184
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Guozhang Wang
> Assignee: Nikolay Izhikov
> Priority: Major
> Labels: user-experience
>
> Currently Kafka Streams does not make a checkpoint of the persistent state
> store upon committing, which would be expensive since it is "stopping the
> world" and write on disks: for example, RocksDB would require you to copy the
> file directory to make a copy naively.
> However, for in-memory stores checkpointing maybe doable in an asynchronous
> manner hence it can be done quickly. And the benefit of having intermediate
> checkpoint is to avoid restoring from scratch if standby tasks are not
> present.
