Description

Currently we are using flink version 1.13.2 and as per the flink documentation we should get all exceptions through exceptions api in exceptionHistory tag. While running few scenarios we observed that the below two exceptions are not coming in exceptionHistory tag but are coming in root-exception tag.

Exception 1 - caused by: java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Cannot find checkpoint or savepoint file/directory 'C:\Users\abc\Documents\checkpoints\a737088e21206281db87f6492bcba074' on file system 'file'.

Exception 2 - Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to rollback to checkpoint/savepoint file:/mnt/c/Users/abc/Documents/checkpoints/a737088e21206281db87f6492bcba074/chk-144.

Please find the attachment for the logs of above exceptions.
