-----------------------------------------
[~StephanEwen] this is resolved now, right?
> Remove extra storage location for externalized checkpoint metadata
> ------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-4814
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4814
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: State Backends, Checkpointing
> Reporter: Ufuk Celebi
> Priority: Major
>
> Follow up for FLINK-4512.
> Store checkpoint meta data in checkpoint directory. That makes it simpler
> for users to track and clean up checkpoints manually, if they want to retain
> externalized checkpoints across cancellations and terminal failures.
> Every state backend needs to be able to provide a storage location for the
> checkpoint metadata. The memory state backend would hence not work with
> externalized checkpoints, unless one sets explicitly a parameter
> `setExternalizedCheckpointsLocation(uri)`.
