OK, I agree that it's better to leave it as is for the release. With the
upcoming feature freeze, I don't think there is enough time to properly address
this. I will cherry pick the docs changes for the release and we can address
this after 1.2.
> Remove extra storage location for externalized checkpoint metadata

> 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)`.
