             Summary: Always call RocksIterator.status() to check the internal 
error of RocksDB
                 Key: FLINK-9373
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9373
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0
            Reporter: Sihua Zhou
            Assignee: Sihua Zhou


Currently, when using RocksIterator we only use the _iterator.isValid()_ to 
check whether we have reached the end of the iterator. But that is not enough, 
if we refer to RocksDB's wiki 
https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Iterator#error-handling we should find 
that _iterator.isValid()_ may also cause by a internal error. A safer way to 
use the _RocksIterator_ is to always call the _iterator.status()_ to check the 
internal error of _RocksDB_. There is a case from user email seems to lost data 
because of this
