Milosz Tanski commented on FLINK-4326:
--------------------------------------
This would also be valuable for people trying to run on linux systemd to run
the service (which is pretty much all new linux distros). And that way the
users can use system policies for logging (since systemd automatically collects
stdout).
> Flink start-up scripts should optionally start services on the foreground

> Key: FLINK-4326
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4326
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Startup Shell Scripts
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3
> Reporter: Elias Levy
>
> This has previously been mentioned in the mailing list, but has not been
> addressed. Flink start-up scripts start the job and task managers in the
> background. This makes it difficult to integrate Flink with most processes
> supervisory tools and init systems, including Docker. One can get around
> this via hacking the scripts or manually starting the right classes via Java,
> but it is a brittle solution.
> In addition to starting the daemons in the foreground, the start up scripts
> should use exec instead of running the commends, so as to avoid forks. Many
> supervisory tools assume the PID of the process to be monitored is that of
> the process it first executes, and fork chains make it difficult for the
> supervisor to figure out what process to monitor. Specifically,
> jobmanager.sh and taskmanager.sh should exec flink-daemon.sh, and
> flink-daemon.sh should exec java.
