Hi Yuval,
I'm also wondering why do you have such a big metadata file.
Probably, you could reduce it by decreasing
"state.backend.fs.memory-threshold" (if you didn't do so already) [1].

Hi Yuval
First of all, large savepoint metadata would not must need a very large akka
frame size. Writing meta data to external file system calls IO-write method [1]
instead of sending RPC message.
Secondly, savepoint would not store any confiuration, it would only store
checkpointed state.
