I'm not sure if this addresses the original concern. For instance consider this sequence:
1. Job starts from savepoint 2. Job creates a few checkpoints 3. Job manager (just one in kubernetes) crashes and restarts with the commands specified in the kubernetes manifest which has the savepoint path Will Zookeeper based HA ensure that this savepoint path will be ignored? I've asked this and various other questions here - http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Will-job-manager-restarts-lead-to-repeated-savepoint-restoration-tp40188.html -- Sent from: http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/
