Description

Summary

Upon failure, it seems that Flink didn't restore from the last completed checkpoint. Instead, it restored from a very old checkpoint. As a result, Kafka offsets are invalid and caused the job to replay from the beginning as Kafka consumer "auto.offset.reset" was set to "EARLIEST".

This is an embarrassingly parallel stateless job. Parallelism is over 1,000. I have the full log file from jobmanager at INFO level available upon request.

Sequence of events from the logs

Just before the failure, checkpoint 210768 completed.

2020-10-25 02:35:05,970 INFO org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator [jobmanager-future-thread-5] - Completed checkpoint 210768 for job 233b4938179c06974e4535ac8a868675 (4623776 bytes in 120402 ms).

During restart, somehow it decided to restore from a very old checkpoint 203531.
