[jira] [Created] (FLINK-6014) Allow the registration of state objects in checkpoints

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

             Summary: Allow the registration of state objects in checkpoints
                 Key: FLINK-6014
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6014
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
            Reporter: Xiaogang Shi
            Assignee: Xiaogang Shi


This issue is the very first step towards incremental checkpointing. We introduce a new state handle named {{CompositeStateHandle}} to be the base of the snapshots taken by task components.  Known implementation may include {{KeyedStateHandle}} (for {{KeyedStateBackend}}s), {{SubtaskState}} (for subtasks, splits of {{JobVertex}}) and {{TaskState}} (for {{JobVertex}}s).

Each {{CompositeStateHandle}} is composed of a collection of {{StateObject}s. It should register all its state objects in {{StateRegistry}} when its checkpoint is added into {{CompletedCheckpointStore}} (i.e., a pending checkpoint completes or a complete checkpoint is reloaded in the recovery).

When a completed checkpoint is moved out of the {{CompletedCheckpointStore}}, we should not simply discard all state objects in the checkpoint. With the introduction of incremental checkpointing, a {{StateObject}} may be referenced by different checkpoints. We should unregister all the state objects contained in the {{StateRegistry}} first. Only those state objects that are not referenced by any checkpoint can be deleted.
