> Timers are currently processed in one big block under the checkpoint lock (under {{InternalTimerServiceImpl#advanceWatermark}}. This can be problematic in a number of scenarios while doing checkpointing which would lead to checkpoints timing out (and even unaligned checkpoints would not help).
> If you have a huge number of timers to process when advancing the watermark and the task is also back-pressured, the situation may actually be worse since you would block on the checkpoint lock and also wait for buffers/credits from the receiver.
> I propose to make this loop more fine-grained so that it is interruptible by checkpoints, but maybe there is also some other way to improve here.
