Added in SQL Server version:
2014
Removed in SQL Server version:
N/A
Extended Events wait_type value:
Maps to the XTP_CKPT_CLOSE map_value in sys.dm_xe_map_values.
The map_key value in sys.dm_xe_map_values is 930 in 2014 RTM. After 2014 RTM, you must check the DMV to get the latest value as some map_key values have changed in later builds.
Other information:
This wait type is one that I usually filter out as a benign wait when doing wait statistics analysis.
I have not seen this wait to be a noticeable contention point.
