----------------------------------------

[~guozhang] Thanks for the feedback and detailed explanation. 
I'm very interested and will create a separate ticket for Checkpointing API.

> 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.
