   @Sushant20 The operator intentionally doesn't support restoring from arbitrary savepoints "on-the-fly" to avoid confusion in terms of what savepoint will actually be used (last savepoint available / user specified). I think this is a confusing design the google operator because it's not clear what happens if the job is already running.
   
   What we support here:
   
   1. Delete the FlinkDeployment resource. This will stop the job and clean up all the resources.
   2. Set `FlinkDeployment.spec.job.initialSavepointPath` to your desired savepoint restore path
   3. Re-create FlinkDeployment re-source
   
   As the name suggests `initialSavepointPath` settings will only take effect when a given deployment is submitted for the first time. After that it is always the latest savepoint/checkpoint information to avoid any state loss.
