Hi, yes Stefano is spot on! The state is only restored if a job is restarted because of abnormal failure. For state that survives stopping/canceling a job you can look at savepoints: https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/apis/streaming/savepoints.html This essentially uses the same mechanisms as the fault-tolerance stuff for state but makes it explicit and allows restarting from different savepoints.
