• StateBackend接口定義了有狀態的streaming應用的state是如何stored以及checkpointed
• StateBackend接口定義了createCheckpointStorage、createKeyedStateBackend、createOperatorStateBackend方法；同時繼承了Serializable接口；StateBackend接口的實現要求是線程安全的
• StateBackend有個直接實現的抽象類AbstractStateBackend，而AbstractFileStateBackend及RocksDBStateBackend繼承了AbstractStateBackend，以後MemoryStateBackend、FsStateBackend都繼承了AbstractFileStateBackend

AbstractStateBackend

flink-runtime_2.11-1.7.0-sources.jar!/org/apache/flink/runtime/state/AbstractStateBackend.java

/**

 */
@PublicEvolving
public abstract class AbstractStateBackend implements StateBackend, java.io.Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 4620415814639230247L;

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  State Backend - State-Holding Backends
    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    @Override
    public abstract <K> AbstractKeyedStateBackend<K> createKeyedStateBackend(
        Environment env,

        TypeSerializer<K> keySerializer,
        int numberOfKeyGroups,
        KeyGroupRange keyGroupRange,
        TaskKvStateRegistry kvStateRegistry,

    @Override

• AbstractStateBackend聲明實現StateBackend及Serializable接口，它將createKeyedStateBackend方法及createOperatorStateBackend方法從新定義爲抽象方法

• AbstractFileStateBackend繼承了AbstractStateBackend，它有baseCheckpointPath、baseSavepointPath兩個屬性，容許爲null，路徑的格式爲hdfs://或者file://開頭；resolveCheckpoint方法用於解析checkpoint或savepoint的location，這裏使用AbstractFsCheckpointStorage.resolveCheckpointPointer(pointer)來完成

• FsStateBackend繼承了AbstractFileStateBackend，同時實現了ConfigurableStateBackend接口；它的public構造器支持checkpointDirectory、defaultSavepointDirectory、fileStateSizeThreshold及asynchronousSnapshots這幾個參數，它要求asynchronousSnapshots不能爲null，fileStateSizeThreshold必須大於等於-1，小於等於MAX_FILE_STATE_THRESHOLD
• configure方法則調用的是private的構造器，它會根據Configuration對當前實例進行從新配置，好比從新設置asynchronousSnapshots，對於fileStateThreshold小於0的，則先取CheckpointingOptions.FS_SMALL_FILE_THRESHOLD的值，以後再對該值進行校訂(若是該值大於等於0，小於等於MAX_FILE_STATE_THRESHOLD則取該值，不然取CheckpointingOptions.FS_SMALL_FILE_THRESHOLD.defaultValue())
• createCheckpointStorage方法建立的是FsCheckpointStorage，createKeyedStateBackend方法建立的是HeapKeyedStateBackend，createOperatorStateBackend方法建立的是DefaultOperatorStateBackend

小結

• FsStateBackend繼承了AbstractFileStateBackend，同時實現了ConfigurableStateBackend接口的configure方法，裏頭要求fileStateThreshold大於等於-1，小於等於MAX_FILE_STATE_THRESHOLD
• FsStateBackend對於TaskManager的數據先是存在內存，在checkpoint的時候寫入到指定的文件系統，而對於JobManager的metadata則存在內存；它默認採用的是async snapshots來避免阻塞線程；爲了不寫太多的小文件，它有一個fileStateThreshold閾值，小於該值時state存儲到metadata中而不是文件中
• createCheckpointStorage方法建立的是FsCheckpointStorage，createKeyedStateBackend方法建立的是HeapKeyedStateBackend，createOperatorStateBackend方法建立的是DefaultOperatorStateBackend
