Creating a Checkpoint#
To create a checkpoint, use the create_checkpoint function provided by SlateDB.
This operation captures a consistent and durable view of the database state, anchored to a specific manifest version.
Refreshing a Checkpoint#
To extend the lifetime of an existing checkpoint, use Admin::refresh_checkpoint.
This updates the checkpoint’s expiration time, ensuring that the referenced SSTs remain protected from garbage collection for the specified duration.
Deleting a Checkpoint#
To remove a checkpoint, use Admin::delete_checkpoint.
This deletes the checkpoint metadata from the manifest, allowing the garbage collector to eventually reclaim any unreferenced SST files associated with that checkpoint.
