Re: How to use or configure flink checkpointing with siddhi internal state

[Till Rohrmann]

Hi Dipanjan,

I am assuming that you are using the flink-siddhi library [1]. I am not an expert but it looks as if the AbstractSiddhiOperator overrides the snapshotState [2] method to store the Siddhi state in Flink.

Cheers,

Till

Hi ,
   I was trying to do checkpointing while using siddhi as the CEP engine running on flink. While using siddhi windowing , it uses an internal state to aggregated or perform operation on a bucket of events pertaining to a specific time window. But what i am not sure is how can that state be mapped to Flinks internal state so that i can use flink checkpointing to safeguard the internal state of the siddhi operators in the face of failure.
Any help or pointer for this will be of great help to me.Thanks in advance.
