Hi Niklas, the current Scheduler implementation is designed with location transparency in mind. Tasks can express a location preference which is currently based on location constraints wrt other tasks. However, the community is thinking about enhancing the scheduling logic such that it can respect node preferences more explicitly in order to support mounted persistent disks for state storage.
To make a long story short, for your use case you will most likely have to change the Scheduler at the moment.
