[jira] [Created] (FLINK-6556) Include and expose Flink version in
the savepoint data
Stefan Richter created FLINK-6556:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Include and expose Flink version in the savepoint data
Key: FLINK-6556
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6556
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
Reporter: Stefan Richter
I think it could make sense to include the flink version (notice: this can be tracked independently from the savepoint format version that we currently store!) from which a savepoint was taken in the meta data and expose it to the restore process, passing it through until e.g. the {{FunctionInitializationContext}}.
This makes it much easier for code to derive certain behaviour for backwards compatibility.
