-----------------------------------

             Summary: Persist checkpoint type information
                 Key: FLINK-22256
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-22256
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Runtime / Checkpointing
            Reporter: Fabian Paul


As a user, it is retrospectively difficult to determine what kind of checkpoint (i.e. incremental, unaligned, ...) was performed when looking only at the persisted checkpoint metadata.

The only way would be to look into the execution configuration of the job which might not be available anymore and can be scattered across the application code and cluster configuration.

It would be highly beneficial if such information would be part of the persisted metadata to not track these external pointers.
