    So will the same savepoint logic apply to externalized checkpoints? I think it would be good to have a similar way of restoring from checkpoints and savepoints from a usability perspective. 
    
    I usually set the externalized checkpoint dir the same as the savepoint dir, to make it easy to write scripts to get the latest and restart.
    
    Otherwise I think the changes make a lot of sense and the directory structure looks very reasonable. 
    
    One question, in the directory name could we maybe use the checkpoint id instead of the random suffix or something more predictable? Maybe the checkpoint date?
