Hi,

After enabling checkpoints and set the property env.setStateBackend(new FsStateBackend(url)) I am the following exception:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: CheckpointConfig says to persist periodic checkpoints, but no checkpoint directory has been configured. You can configure configure one via key 'state.checkpoints.dir'.

I have not found any way to set the 'state.checkpoints.dir' to the execution environment. Is it possible? or the only way is to modify the file flink-conf.yaml instead? 

Thanks
