loadStateBackendFromConfig

public static StateBackend loadStateBackendFromConfig(Configuration config,
                                                      ClassLoader classLoader,
                                                      @Nullable
                                                      org.slf4j.Logger logger)
                                               throws IllegalConfigurationException,
                                                      DynamicCodeLoadingException,
                                                      IOException

Loads the state backend from the configuration, from the parameter 'state.backend', as defined in CheckpointingOptions.STATE_BACKEND.

The state backends can be specified either via their shortcut name, or via the class name of a StateBackendFactory. If a StateBackendFactory class name is specified, the factory is instantiated (via its zero-argument constructor) and its StateBackendFactory.createFromConfig(Configuration, ClassLoader) method is called.

Recognized shortcut names are '', '', and ''.

Parameters:

config - The configuration to load the state backend from

classLoader - The class loader that should be used to load the state backend

logger - Optionally, a logger to log actions to (may be null)

Returns:

The instantiated state backend.

Throws:

DynamicCodeLoadingException - Thrown if a state backend factory is configured and the factory class was not found or the factory could not be instantiated

IllegalConfigurationException - May be thrown by the StateBackendFactory when creating / configuring the state backend in the factory

IOException - May be thrown by the StateBackendFactory when instantiating the state backend

fromApplicationOrConfigOrDefault

public static StateBackend fromApplicationOrConfigOrDefault(@Nullable
                                                            StateBackend fromApplication,
                                                            Configuration config,
                                                            ClassLoader classLoader,
                                                            @Nullable
                                                            org.slf4j.Logger logger)
                                                     throws IllegalConfigurationException,
                                                            DynamicCodeLoadingException,
                                                            IOException

Checks if an application-defined state backend is given, and if not, loads the state backend from the configuration, from the parameter 'state.backend', as defined in CheckpointingOptions.STATE_BACKEND. If no state backend is configured, this instantiates the default state backend (the MemoryStateBackend).

If an application-defined state backend is found, and the state backend is a ConfigurableStateBackend, this methods calls ConfigurableStateBackend.configure(Configuration, ClassLoader) on the state backend.

Refer to loadStateBackendFromConfig(Configuration, ClassLoader, Logger) for details on how the state backend is loaded from the configuration.

Parameters:

config - The configuration to load the state backend from

classLoader - The class loader that should be used to load the state backend

logger - Optionally, a logger to log actions to (may be null)

Returns:

The instantiated state backend.

Throws:

DynamicCodeLoadingException - Thrown if a state backend factory is configured and the factory class was not found or the factory could not be instantiated

IllegalConfigurationException - May be thrown by the StateBackendFactory when creating / configuring the state backend in the factory

IOException - May be thrown by the StateBackendFactory when instantiating the state backend
