Class JobManagerCheckpointStorage

java.lang.Object
org.apache.flink.runtime.state.storage.JobManagerCheckpointStorage
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, CheckpointStorage, ConfigurableCheckpointStorage
@PublicEvolving public class JobManagerCheckpointStorage extends Object implements CheckpointStorage, ConfigurableCheckpointStorage
The CheckpointStorage checkpoints state directly to the JobManager's memory (hence the name), but savepoints will be persisted to a file system.

This checkpoint storage is primarily for experimentation, quick local setups, or for streaming applications that have very small state: Because it requires checkpoints to go through the JobManager's memory, larger state will occupy larger portions of the JobManager's main memory, reducing operational stability. For any other setup, the FileSystemCheckpointStorage should be used. The FileSystemCheckpointStorage but checkpoints state directly to files rather than to the JobManager's memory, thus supporting larger state sizes and more highly available recovery.

State Size Considerations

State checkpointing with this storage is subject to the following conditions:

  • Each individual state must not exceed the configured maximum state size (see getMaxStateSize().
  • All state from one task (i.e., the sum of all operator states and keyed states from all chained operators of the task) must not exceed what the RPC system supports, which is be default < 10 MB. That limit can be configured up, but that is typically not advised.
  • The sum of all states in the application times all retained checkpoints must comfortably fit into the JobManager's JVM heap space.

Persistence Guarantees

For the use cases where the state sizes can be handled by this checkpoint storage, the storage does guarantee persistence for savepoints, externalized checkpoints (if configured), and checkpoints (when high-availability is configured).

Configuration

As for all checkpoint storage, this storage policy can either be configured within the application (by creating the storage with the respective constructor parameters and setting it on the execution environment) or by specifying it in the Flink configuration.

If the checkpoint storage was specified in the application, it may pick up additional configuration parameters from the Flink configuration. For example, if the storage if configured in the application without a default savepoint directory, it will pick up a default savepoint directory specified in the Flink configuration of the running job/cluster. That behavior is implemented via the configure(ReadableConfig, ClassLoader) method.

    • DEFAULT_MAX_STATE_SIZE

      public static final int DEFAULT_MAX_STATE_SIZE
      The default maximal size that the snapshotted memory state may have (5 MiBytes).

    • JobManagerCheckpointStorage

      public JobManagerCheckpointStorage()
      Creates a new job manager checkpoint storage that accepts states whose serialized forms are up to the default state size (5 MB).

      Checkpoint and default savepoint locations are used as specified in the runtime configuration.

    • JobManagerCheckpointStorage

      public JobManagerCheckpointStorage(int maxStateSize)
      Creates a new JobManagerCheckpointStorage, setting optionally the paths to persist checkpoint metadata and savepoints to, as well as configuring state thresholds and asynchronous operations.

      WARNING: Increasing the size of this value beyond the default value (5242880) should be done with care. The checkpointed state needs to be send to the JobManager via limited size RPC messages, and there and the JobManager needs to be able to hold all aggregated state in its memory.

      Parameters:
      maxStateSize - The maximal size of the serialized state.

    • JobManagerCheckpointStorage

      public JobManagerCheckpointStorage(String checkpointPath)
      Creates a new JobManagerCheckpointStorage, setting optionally the paths to persist checkpoint metadata and savepoints to, as well as configuring state thresholds and asynchronous operations.

      WARNING: Increasing the size of this value beyond the default value (5242880) should be done with care. The checkpointed state needs to be send to the JobManager via limited size RPC messages, and there and the JobManager needs to be able to hold all aggregated state in its memory.

      Parameters:
      checkpointPath - path to write checkpoint metadata to. If null, the value from the runtime configuration will be used.

    • JobManagerCheckpointStorage

      public JobManagerCheckpointStorage(org.apache.flink.core.fs.Path checkpointPath, int maxStateSize)
      Creates a new JobManagerCheckpointStorage, setting optionally the paths to persist checkpoint metadata and savepoints to, as well as configuring state thresholds and asynchronous operations.

      WARNING: Increasing the size of this value beyond the default value (5242880) should be done with care. The checkpointed state needs to be send to the JobManager via limited size RPC messages, and there and the JobManager needs to be able to hold all aggregated state in its memory.

      Parameters:
      maxStateSize - The maximal size of the serialized state.
