In addition, there are several individual options such as state.checkpoint-storage and state.checkpoints.dir that fall outside of these prefixes. The current arrangement of these options, which span multiple modules, is somewhat haphazard and lacks a systematic structure. For example, the options under the CheckpointingOptions and ExecutionCheckpointingOptions are related and have no clear boundaries from the user's perspective, but there is no unified prefix for them. With the upcoming release of Flink 2.0, we have an excellent opportunity to overhaul and restructure the configurations related to checkpointing, recovery, and state management. This FLIP proposes to reorganize these settings, making it more coherent by module, which would significantly lower the barriers for understanding and reduce the development costs moving forward.

Public Interfaces & Proposed Changes

This FLIP proposes a transition from existing configuration options to new ones, which are categorized by prefixes as listed below:

...

Original (Current) option

Proposed New option

Note

state.checkpoints.num-retained

execution.checkpointing.num-retained


state.checkpoint.cleaner.parallel-mode

execution.checkpointing.cleaner.parallel-mode


state.backend.incremental

execution.checkpointing.incremental

execution.checkpoint.type

(In discussion)

an enumeration option which can be 'full' (default) or 'incremental'

state.backend.local-recovery

execution.checkpointing.local-copy.enabled

Whether to do checkpoint on local disk, another option execution.recovery.from-local is added to control the behavior of recovery from local

taskmanager.state.local.root-dirs


execution.checkpointing.local-copy.dir


state.savepoints.dir

execution.checkpointing.savepoint.dir


state.checkpoints.dir

state.checkpoint-storage

execution.checkpointing.dir

One URI is enough for specifying the checkpoint directory and storage. 'jobmanager' and 'jm://' are special URI for job manager based storage.

state.storage.fs.memory-threshold


execution.checkpointing.data-inline-threshold


state.storage.fs.write-buffer-size

execution.checkpointing.write-buffer-size


All those options will be moved into `CheckpointingOptions`.
