> It is possible that Flink loses state data when a {{Task}} fails while a checkpoint is being drawn. The scenario is the following:
> Flink has finished the synchronous checkpointing part and starts the asynchronous part by creating and submitting a {{AsyncCheckpointRunnable}} to an {{Executor}}. This runnable is also registered at the closeable registry. If the {{Task}} now fails before the {{AsyncCheckpointRunnable}} has completed, it will be closed due to being registered in the closeable registry. The closing operation will discard all state handles and cancel all runnable state futures. However, it will not stop the runnable from sending an acknowledge message to the {{CheckpointCoordinator}}.
> If this message completes the pending checkpoint, then this checkpoint will be transformed into a {{CompletedCheckpoint}} which is faulty (some of the data has already been deleted). Depending on Flink's configuration, this will discard older completed checkpoints and thus we will have state data loss.
