[jira] [Created] (FLINK-11007) Update documentation to describe new checkpoint metadata file behavior

Josh Lemer created FLINK-11007:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Update documentation to describe new checkpoint metadata file behavior
                 Key: FLINK-11007
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11007
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Josh Lemer


In the [documentation|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.6/dev/stream/state/checkpointing.html#state-checkpoints-dir] about checkpointing, it is explained that you must set the config file setting `state.checkpoints.dir` to specify the directory where checkpoint metadata files will be stored. 

This is no longer the case, and apparently now checkpoint metadata files are stored in the checkpoint data directory itself. This should be updated in the docs.
