Description

This is about step one in the documentation here: https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.11/ops/upgrading.html#step-1-take-a-savepoint-in-the-old-flink-version

We currently advise users to take a savepoint, without telling them to stop or cancel the job afterwards. We should update this to suggest stopping the job with a savepoint in step one.
