Hi, Both the data and metadata is being stored in the savepoint directory, since Flink 1.3. The metadata in the savepoint directory does not reference and checkpoint data files.
In 1.11, what was changed was that the savepoint metadata uses relative paths to point to the data files in the savepoint directory, instead of absolute paths. This would allow you to treat the savepoint directories as self-contained and free to relocate with filesystem operations outside of Flink. Hope this clarifies things for you!
