This is the reason of this patch. Indeed, otherwise the metadata whose path is based on the checkpoint directory will be tried to be created on `defaultFs`. If it is different from the `tmpFs`, you get a `PermissionDenied` exception which is actually caused by the fact that the temp dir is created on the `tmpFs` and not on the `defaultFs`. With this PR, instead, you will get an `AnalysisException` telling you to set a `checkpointLocation`, which is a much more meaningful exception, easy to understand and to fix.
