How to activate checkpoint?

[Vincentius Martin <vi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm using Giraph 1.0.0 and I ran RandomMessageBenchmark in Giraph.

In the middle of the process I tried killing a hadoop task (= a worker).
Suddenly the process just failed with the following exception in master

2014-11-29 04:40:18,049 INFO org.apache.giraph.master.MasterThread:

Is this some kind of bug in Giraph? What I see from the log is: master is
trying to do restartFromCheckpoint but it failed.

How can I activate a checkpoint situation in Giraph?

Thanks
