Hi,

I am learning Stateful function and saw below:

"In addition to the Apache Flink processes, a full deployment requires ZooKeeper (for master failover) and bulk storage (S3, HDFS, NAS, GCS, Azure Blob Store, etc.) to store Flink’s checkpoints. In turn, the deployment requires no database, and Flink processes do not require persistent volumes."

Does this mean stateful function does not support rocksdb (and incremental checkpoint, local task recovery)? Will it be an issue for large state (e.g. 200GB) applications? Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks

Lian
