    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17571?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17161719#comment-17161719 ] 

Congxian Qiu(klion26) commented on FLINK-17571:
-----------------------------------------------

[~pnowojski] could you please assign this to me if it's ok.

I want to add a command-line command {{./bin/flink savepoint list $path}}.   The $path should be the parent directory of {{_metadata}} or the path of {{_metadata}}

{{And the result will be all the files used by the specific checkpoint/savepoint.}}

> Inspired by the [userMail|http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Shared-Checkpoint-Cleanup-and-S3-Lifecycle-Policy-tt34965.html]
> Currently, there are [three types of directory|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.10/ops/state/checkpoints.html#directory-structure] for a checkpoint, the files in TASKOWND and EXCLUSIVE directory can be deleted safely, but users can't delete the files in the SHARED directory safely(the files may be created a long time ago).
> I think it's better to give users a better way to know which files are currently used(so the others are not used)
> maybe a command-line command such as below is ok enough to support such a feature.
> {{./bin/flink checkpoint list $checkpointDir  # list all the files used in checkpoint}}
