Description

Can you please update https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.3/setup/savepoints.html to specify the savepoint location MUST always be a location accessible by all hosts?
I spent quite some time believing it'S a bug and trying to find solutions, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7750. It's not obvious in the current documentation and other might waste time also believing it's an actual issue.
