Streaming sink with commit log disabled still throws the exception , any reason why it looks for checkpointlocation when i have option set not to use checkpoint ? ☹

org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: checkpointLocation must be specified either through option("checkpointLocation", ...) or SparkSession.conf.set("spark.sql.streaming.checkpointLocation", ...);

df.writeStream  
.format("org.elasticsearch.spark.sql")  
.option("es.resource", "document")  
.option("es.mapping.id","id")  
**.option("es.spark.sql.streaming.sink.log.enabled",false)**  
.option("es.index.auto.create","no")  
.option("es.nodes", "")  
.option("es.write.operation", "upsert")  
.outputMode("append")  
.start("document")
