The machine goes down because of hardware problem, then the job cannot restart successfully anymore. After digging a little bit, I found that RocksDB in Flink uses sync instead of fsync to synchronized the data with the disk. With sync operation, the RocksDB cannot guarantee that the current in-progress file can be persisted on disk in takeDBNativeCheckpoint.
