Louis,

That is indeed what these options do. 

Ray seems to checkpoint the completion of each step, not at a regular interval. 
So if you have a step in Ray thats taking longer than your max walltime, you'll 
still have an issue. Also just an FYI, depending on how big of jobs you're 
running (number of cores), and what your scratch file space performance is, 
checkpointing can be fairly straining on the cluster.
