Abstract: A buffer box can be configured for an edge switch that is connected to one or more downstream nodes of a stateful stream processing system. Various upstream nodes can transmit data to downstream nodes for processing. At various locations in the data streams, the upstream nodes can include markers to indicate when a checkpoint should be generated or updated for the state of the data.

This can improve bandwidth usage and recovery time versus conventional recovery approaches, and can minimize impact of the recovery on other nodes across the network.
