I think that change is good in "our" philosophy, just wondering about the
following implication:
Some people want to run HA setups without ZooKeeper, simply using an
external service to make sure that the JobManager is restarted. The latest
completed checkpoint is found via a well-defined path in the checkpoint storage
(rather than a well defined path in ZooKeeper).
That works as an HA setup (with the exception of being susceptible to
"split brain" behavior in the presence of network partitions.
Would we interfere with such a setup when removing checkpoints on "suspend"
in "standalone" mode?
BTW: We should really find a new name for "standalone" more ;-) The term is
overloaded.
