org.apache.flink.state.api.SavepointWriter

@PublicEvolving
public class SavepointWriter

removeOperator

@Deprecated
public SavepointWriter removeOperator(String uid)

Deprecated.

use removeOperator(OperatorIdentifier)

removeOperator

public SavepointWriter removeOperator(OperatorIdentifier identifier)

Drop an existing operator from the savepoint.

Parameters:

identifier - The identifier of the operator.

Returns:

A modified savepoint.

withOperator

@Deprecated
public <T> SavepointWriter withOperator(String uid,
                                        StateBootstrapTransformation<T> transformation)

Deprecated.

withOperator

public <T> SavepointWriter withOperator(OperatorIdentifier identifier,
                                        StateBootstrapTransformation<T> transformation)

Adds a new operator to the savepoint.

Parameters:

identifier - The identifier of the operator.

transformation - The operator to be included.

Returns:

The modified savepoint.

withConfiguration

public <T> SavepointWriter withConfiguration(org.apache.flink.configuration.ConfigOption<T> option,
                                             T value)

Sets a configuration that will be applied to the stream operators used to bootstrap a new savepoint.

Type Parameters:

T - type of the value to be stored

Parameters:

option - metadata information

value - value to be stored

Returns:

The modified savepoint.

changeOperatorIdentifier

public SavepointWriter changeOperatorIdentifier(OperatorIdentifier from,
                                                OperatorIdentifier to)

Changes the identifier of an operator.

This method is comparatively cheap since it only modifies savepoint metadata without reading the entire savepoint data.

Use-cases include, but are not limited to:

• assigning a UID to an operator that did not have a UID assigned before
• changing the UID of an operator
• swapping the states of 2 operators

Identifier changes are applied after all other operations; in the following example the savepoint will only contain UID_2.

     SavepointWriter savepoint = ...
     savepoint.withOperator(UID_1, ...)
     savepoint.changeOperatorIdentifier(UID_1, UID_2)
     savepoint.write(...)
 

You cannot define a chain of changes; in the following example the savepoint will only contain UID_2.

     SavepointWriter savepoint = ...
     savepoint.withOperator(UID_1, ...)
     savepoint.changeOperatorIdentifier(UID_1, UID_2)
     savepoint.changeOperatorIdentifier(UID_2, UID_3)
     savepoint.write(...)
 

Parameters:

from - operator whose identifier should be changed

to - desired identifier

Returns:

The modified savepoint.

write

public final void write(String path)

Write out a new or updated savepoint.

Parameters:

path - The path to where the savepoint should be written.
