## Configuring a State Backend
-State backends can be configured per job. In addition, you can define a
default state backend to be used when the
-job does not explicitly define a state backend.
+State backends can be configured per job in code. In addition, you can
define a default state backend in **flink-conf.yaml** that is used when the job
does not explicitly define a state backend.

@zentol I find that "in code" reads rather awkwardly, and I don't see how
it adds any value, since the details of how to do per-job configuration are
shown below. Nevertheless, this topic can be a bit confusing, so I would
suggest something more like this (assuming I got the details right):
The default state backend, if you specify nothing, is the jobmanager. If
you wish to establish a different default for all jobs on your cluster, you can
do so by defining a new default state backend in **flink-conf.yaml**. The
default state backend can be overridden on a per-job basis, as shown below.
