Hi mates, I’m trying to configure my job to retain checkpoints on it’s 
cancellation and got some troubles.

I got the following args why not to use savepoints:

 1. we already have all the job state on DFS in checkpoints directory
 2. I can multiply size of the state on 2, when stopping the job, because the 
state is already stored in checkpoints dir, and I’ll save it one more time into 
savepoint dir
 3. creation of checkpoints is incremental and savepoints - is not, so in my 
case (10 Tb state) the process of savepoint creation will took too long time
 4. As I know, we can rescale or job from retained checkpoints

I've configured my job to retain checkpoints on job cancelation and found an 
interesting issue - _metadata file is removed, when job is cancelled.

So, I couldn’t restore my job from the retained checkpoint, is it an expected 
behaviour ? If so, what is wrong ?
