Currently, processes started in the foreground (like in the case of
Docker) output all logging/stdout directly to the console, without
creating any logging files.
The downside of this approach, as outlined in FLIP-111, is that the
WebUI is not able to display the logs since it relies on these very
files to exist.
In FLINK-17166 (part of FLIP-111) we are trying to change this such that
we always created .log/.out files. It seems like a reasonable change to
do, but it could have repercussions on existing deployments since we
will naturally use more disk space (logs gotta go somewhere).
I'm curious what people think about this.
