Doesn't sound like intended behavior, can you give us the stacktrace?

The Flink documentation says that we need to specify the filesystem

But when I do this, I get an error on job submission saying that
relative paths are not permitted in the rocksdb stand backend.
I am submitting the job via flink cli (bin/flink run).
Also, even though I give a local file system path
"file:///home/abc/share", it is a shared GlusterFS volume mount, so it
will be accessible by the JobManager and all TaskManagers.
I removed the filesystem type from the rocksdb backend dir
configuration, and though the job got submitted, the rocksdb
checkpoint directory was not created.
I have enabled checkpointing in my Flink application.
I am using Flink 1.5.0.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
