   Got it, thanks. My concern is that probably we should fix the error handling 
in `CheckpointFailureManager`, instead of `mkdirs` call:
   ```
       case FINALIZE_CHECKPOINT_FAILURE:
           // ignore
           break;
   ```
   
   The [documentation](execution.checkpointing.tolerable-failed-checkpoints) 
for `execution.checkpointing.tolerable-failed-checkpoints` says that it applies 
to any `IOException on the Job Manager`. 
   This is the case here (`IOException` gets wrapped into `CheckpointException` 
when I try it locally). 
   
   By adding a check of `mkdirs`, we do fix this particular problem; but any 
other `IOException` (e.g. intermittent failure when writing the `_metadata` 
file) will be ignored by `CheckpointFailureManager`.
   
   So how about counting `FINALIZE_CHECKPOINT_FAILURE` as a real failure in 
`CheckpointFailureManager`?
   We could still fail fast if the directories could not be created, but that 
would be just an optimization then.
