    Hey again, @StephanEwen @uce .
    When you have 10 min can you take a look to see if this is acceptable?  
    I would not like to leave this here for months again, it has been out way too long already. 
    
    The changes are just a few and straightforward so I really encourage you to skim them at your earliest convenience. Thanks!

> The current snapshotting algorithm cannot support cycles in the execution graph. An alternative scheme can potentially include records in-transit through the back-edges of a cyclic execution graph (ABS [1]) to achieve the same guarantees.
> One straightforward implementation of ABS for cyclic graphs can work as follows along the lines:
> 1) Upon triggering a barrier in an IterationHead from the TaskManager start block output and start upstream backup of all records forwarded from the respective IterationSink.
> 2) The IterationSink should eventually forward the current snapshotting epoch barrier to the IterationSource.
> 3) Upon receiving a barrier from the IterationSink, the IterationSource should finalize the snapshot, unblock its output and emit all records in-transit in FIFO order and continue the usual execution.
> --
> Upon restart the IterationSource should emit all records from the injected snapshot first and then continue its usual execution.
> Several optimisations and slight variations can be potentially achieved but this can be the initial implementation take.
