Description

Usually we can set state.checkpoint.dir in flink-conf.yaml, but sometimes we run a flink job locally, and we're not able to set state.checkpoint.dir for background wrapped cluster, which will cause 

throw new IllegalStateException("CheckpointConfig says to persist periodic " +
      "checkpoints, but no checkpoint directory has been configured. You can " +
      "configure configure one via key '" + ConfigConstants.CHECKPOINTS_DIRECTORY_KEY + "'.");

I wonder if we could provide a public method in StreamExecutionEnvironment so that developers can use it to set state.checkpoint.dir for job.
