@Rohan - I am streaming data to kafka sink after applying business logic.
For checkpoint, I am using s3 as a distributed file system. For local
recovery, I am using Optimized iops ebs volume.

@Vijay - I forget to mention that incoming data volume is ~ 10 to 21GB per
minute compressed(lz4) avro message. Generally 90% correlated events come
within 5 seconds and 10% of the correlated events get extended to 65
minute. Due to this business requirement, the state size keep growing till
65 minutes, after that the state size becomes more or less stable. As the
state size is growing and is around 350gb at peak load, checkpoint is not
able to complete within 1 minutes. I want to check as quick as possible
like every 5 second.

Thanks,
Ravi
