Márton Balassi commented on FLINK-2221:
---------------------------------------
Ok, so for the release I am adding some documentation, highlighting that the
local flesystem should not be used as a state backend in a distributed setting.
We might address the issue later.
> 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.
