Hi all, Due to recent changes in the shutdown mechanism of Flink [1] it is not conveniently possible anymore to suspend a job running on a jobcluster with a savepoint and retrieve the savepoint location via the Flink API programmatically.
With the introduced changes the rest endpoint shutdowns immediately and rejects new request which makes the information inaccessible. Before the changes it was possible to stop the job and query the savepoint info endpoint until the location was shown. Admittedly, this was never a safe solution because it expected that the rest endpoint stays alive long enough. I would like to see what the community thinks about this and whether it is worth to implement a different solution to retrieve those information. Best, Fabian [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18663
