Description

Let's say we lost a taskmanager node. When Flink tries to attempt fine grained recovery and fails replacement taskmanager node didn't come back in time, it reverts to full job restart.

Stephan and Till was suggesting that Flink can/should retry fine grained recovery for some time before giving up and reverting full job restart
