Hi, jonas If you restart flink cluster by delete/create deployment directly, it will be automatically restored from the latest checkpoint[1], so maybe just enabling the checkpoint is enough. But if you want to use savepoint, you need to check whether the latest savepoint is successful (check whether have _metadata in savepoint dir is useful in most scenarios, but in some cases the _metadata may not be completed).
