Hi Stephan,
You may have a little misunderstanding about this change. It only controls
directories with job id (generated using UUID), but not the configured root
checkpoint directory. I agree with you that the root directory should be
created or changed permission when setup, but setup would not be aware of these
directories with job ids, which are created in runtime.
About Hadoop dependency, I admit I am using a convenient (let's say a hack
way) to do the transition, as it need a bit more codes to do it standalone. I
will change it if it's a problem :)
