[jira] [Created] (FLINK-15603) Show "barrier lag" in checkpoint statistics

Stephan Ewen created FLINK-15603:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Show "barrier lag" in checkpoint statistics
                 Key: FLINK-15603
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15603
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Runtime / Web Frontend
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 1.11.0


One of the most important metrics is missing in the checkpoint stats: "barrier lag", meaning the time it between when the checkpoint was triggered and when the barriers arrive at a task.

That time is critical to identify if a checkpoint takes too long because of backpressure or other contention.

You can implicitly calculate this by "end_to_end_time - sync_time - async_time", but it is much more obvious for users that something is up when this number is explicitly shown.
