Github user EronWright commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2974 This doesn't really address the 'root cause' here, that the .out file is missing (for Mesos deployments). While we could change `mesos-taskmanager.sh` to redirect the output, I honestly hesitate to, because Mesos is already redirecting the output to 'stdout' and 'stderr'. It has log-rolling features too. Therefore I think it a step backwards to redirect to `flink-taskmanager.out`. So, I think Flink should treat the lack of a log as a 'not applicable' situation, not an 'error' situation.
