Hi Aviad,
sorry for the late reply.
You can configure the checkpoint directory (which is also used for
externalized checkpoints) when you create the state backend:
env.setStateBackend(new RocksDBStateBackend("hdfs:///checkpoints-data/");
This configures the checkpoint directory to be hdfs:///checkpoints-data.
Best, Fabian
