US Patent 10536502 Checkpointing a set of stream computing data

Disclosed aspects relate to checkpointing a set of stream computing data with respect to a stream computing environment having a set of windowed stream operators including both a first windowed stream operator and a second windowed stream operator. It may be identified that the first windowed stream operator has a first subset of the set of stream computing data. It may be identified that the second windowed stream operator has the first subset of the set of stream computing data. It may be determined to checkpoint the first subset of the set of stream computing data without a redundant checkpoint related to the first and second windowed stream operators. The set of stream computing data may be checkpointed without the redundant checkpoint of the first subset of the set of stream computing data.
