Gyula Fora commented on FLINK-2221:
-----------------------------------
A workaround would be to actually discard the state where it was created. But
this adds a large overhead of sending state handles around.
> Checkpoints to "file://" are not cleaned up

> If you think about it, this could never work. The state handle cleanup logic
> happens purely on the JobManager. So what happens is that the TaskManagers
> create state in some directory, let's say /tmp/checkpoints, on the
> TaskManager. For cleanup, the JobManager gets the state handle and calls
> discard (on the JobManager), this tries to cleanup the state in
> /tmp/checkpoints, but of course, there is nothing there since we are still on
> the JobManager.
