Why are these changes needed?

If a trial is interrupted during checkpointing (e.g. with a timeout, or when firing an interrupt), a half-written checkpoint folder might be left. This checkpoint folder is not cleaned up automatically. If the trial was on the head node, and an ExperimentAnalysis object is subsequently created from the experiment path, the analysis object sometimes will search the local path for existing checkpoints. In that case, it will currently fail because no metadata file has been written.

The correct behavior is to ignore this half-written checkpoint directory. So instead of raising an exception, we should raise a warning instead and ignore the checkpoint.
