Github user mxm commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1913#issuecomment-218821172 There are some subtle consequences of the fact that the `ExecutionConfig` must not be modified after it has been passed to the `JobGraph` (because it has been serialized). I think this overall helps to make the code clearer but it requires some more code changes. I'll remove the ExecutionConfig from the JobGraph constructor. We pass `new ExecutionConfig()` there anyways. Instead, a custom ExecutionConfig will be set via a `setExecutionConfig(..)` method.
