[Discuss] adding a new command line argument -sd/--savepointdirectory

Bowen Li
Hi guys,

I want to start on discussion on FLINK-7566 if there's only one
checkpointing metadata file in <dir>, `flink run -s <dir>` should resume
from that metadata file. <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7566>

We need a way to programmatically start a Flink job from a checkpoint
without having know the checkpoint metadata file's name. More details in
that ticket

I'm leaning towards adding a new commandline argument as
'-sd/--savepointdirectory' to point Flink to a directory.

Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Bowen
