             Summary: Docker sets JobManager's rpc address to same host by 
default
                 Key: FLINK-25764
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-25764
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Deployment / Kubernetes, flink-docker
    Affects Versions: 1.15.0
            Reporter: Niklas Semmler


In the [docker 
entrypoint|https://github.com/apache/flink-docker/blob/master/1.14/scala_2.12-java8-debian/docker-entrypoint.sh],
 the JOB_MANAGER_RPC_ADDRESS is set to the current host by default (line 25). 
This environment variable overrides the value set for jobmanager.rpc.address in 
the flink config (line 78, 71). For the TaskManager, this means that it tries 
to find the JobManager on the same host. When this is not the case, the 
TaskManager will retry and ultimately terminate. Hence, for cluster 
deployments, the variable has to be defined when starting the docker.

For Kubernetes deployments, the TaskManager cannot connect to the 
jobmanager.rpc.address even when it is defined by the flink configmap. However, 
we don't see this problem pop up, because for now the configmap is mounted 
read-only into the containers (see FLINK-21383 for more details).

To simplify this configuration, I propose to (a) never set a default setting 
for JOB_MANAGER_RPC_ADDRESS at all or (b) never set a default setting for any 
non-JobManager container. The only down-side is that all docker deployments 
will have to define JOB_MANAGER_RPC_ADDRESS, even when TaskManager and 
JobManager run on the same node.
