#2048 [Core feature] [flytekit] Support for Async checkpoints Issue created by kumare3 Motivation: Why do you think this is important? With #634, Flyte has the capability of checkpointing. Flytekit specifically in this PR flyteorg/flytekit#771 implemented Synchronous checkpoints. But, synchronous checkpoints for extremely large checkpoints could be very expensive as they persist the checkpoint to a durable store synchronously. It is beneficial to checkpoint asynchronously in such cases. Care has to be taken that asynchronous checkpoints to do corrupt previous ongoing checkpoints and hence need some sort of serialization primitives. Goal: What should the final outcome look like, ideally? User should be able to async checkpointing using a very similar api.
