Description

In FLINK-4754 we introduced a configuration parameter state.checkpoints.num-retained.

A user recently reported a valid case of setting this configuration parameter for individual jobs, not globally for an entire Flink session: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/cfc868bf5aec107d51991b6cde4cf893917749583ad0fdce2d17e330@%3Cuser.flink.apache.org%3E
