Andrey Zagrebin commented on FLINK-17077:
-----------------------------------------
I see you concern. The reason, the ports are overridden, is that they are
basically part of [the documented Flink docker image
API|https://hub.docker.com/_/flink?tab=description] (see Configuration
chapter). The Dockerfile even exposes [some of
them|https://github.com/apache/flink-docker/blob/master/1.10/scala_2.11-debian/Dockerfile#L86].
Although, you can usually expose and publish more ports with `docker run
--expose .. -p ..`, changing those ports does not seem to have use cases. All
ports, hard-set in entry point, exist only in container internal port space.
They can be usually mapped and published as any other ports for external
container access. We could remove setting of these ports from entry point if
they are explicitly set by user in flink-conf.yaml but this will then break the
image API.
I suppose (correct me if wrong) that users of the Flink Kubernetes operator
generally do not care about port wiring for internal container communication.
It is task of the Flink Kubernetes operator to set up this correctly. Users
probably need to be able to access the Web UI from some node/cluster public
ip:port. I would consider this to be more an option of the Flink Kubernetes
operator to decide how to set up and expose the port from the Flink deployment.
In this case, I would rather document in the Flink Kubernetes operator that
those internal ports are not to be set by user in configMap.

> To use flink-conf.yaml outside Flink home directory, we should use
> FLINK_CONF_DIR.
> But despite of FLINK_CONF_DIR is provided, docker-entrypoint.sh in official
> flink-docker doesn't know FLINK_CONF_DIR and it is ignored when append
> additional flink properties to flink-conf.yaml. It would be good to use
> FLINK_CONF_DIR for the location of flink-conf.yaml, if user provide it.
