> In the constructor of FsStateBackend, the FileSystem for the checkpoint directory is initialised and it is verified that the checkpoint path exists. This verification happens in the Flink client program when submitting a job and can cause classpath issues if classes required to access the file system are not available in the client's classpath.
> For example, if we run Flink on YARN over AWS EMR using RocksDBStateBackend and an s3:// checkpoint directory, we get the below ClassNotFoundException. This is because the jars needed to use the EMR file system are available only in the YARN context and not when submitting the job via the Flink client.
