Hi, It seems that the behaviour to store the checkpoint metadata files for externalized checkpoints changed from 1.4 to 1.5 and the docs seem to be incorrectly saying that: "state.checkpoints.dir: The target directory for meta data of externalized checkpoints <https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.5/ops/state/checkpoints.html#externalized-checkpoints> "
Now the external metadata files simply end up in the checkpoint dir as configured in the state backend so basically the "state.checkpoints.dir" param is overwritten by the job. This breaks a bunch of tooling around checkpoints that rely on a common place for metadata files instead of scattered around in subdirectories. I wonder is there any way to get the previous behaviour back? Thanks, Gyula
