Description

Towards the end of https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.2/setup/jobmanager_high_availability.html#configuration it says "Currently, only the file system state backend is supported in HA mode."

The state handles are written to the FileSystem and a reference to them is kept in ZooKeeper. So it's actually independent of the backend being used.
