Review Comment:
+1. I am not sure i fully follow the discussion here so let me try to
clarify a background.
I think
- a general idea of the Pinot-Flink sink is designed to backfill data
directly into Pinot;
- checkpointing serves the purpose of swiftly resuming a failed Flink job
without having to restart from fresh.
- restart from fresh is what most users currently do: they create multiple
Flink jobs one responding for a specific time range; if job fails then user
manually cleared up all the segments associated with that time range and
restart the backfill again.
- this PR attempts to enable checkpointing so that restarting the backfill
job entirely is not necessary
- with this in mind in-memory vs. rocksdb state backend definition comes
into play in terms of OOM pressure, but I think that should be a judgment call
on the user who operates the Flink job.
but regardless, i think this PR serves the purpose well and thus i also
agree we can follow up in separate issue/PR
