- Method Detail
  - getExternalPointer
```
String getExternalPointer()
```
    Gets the external pointer to the checkpoint. The pointer can be used to resume a program from the savepoint or checkpoint, and is typically passed as a command line argument, an HTTP request parameter, or stored in a system like ZooKeeper.
  - getMetadataHandle
```
StreamStateHandle getMetadataHandle()
```
    Gets the state handle to the checkpoint's metadata.
  - disposeStorageLocation
```
void disposeStorageLocation()
                     throws IOException
```
    Disposes the storage location. This method should be called after all state objects have been released. It typically disposes the base structure of the checkpoint storage, like the checkpoint directory.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
