I've started my own EMR cluster and tried to launch a Flink job from my
local machine on it.
I have to admin that configuring the EMR launched Hadoop for external
access is quite a hassle.

I'm not even able to submit Flink to the YARN cluster because the client
can not connect to the ResourceManager. I've change the resource manager
hostname to the public one in the yarn-site.xml on the cluster and
restarted it, but the client still can not connect.
It seems that the RM address is being overwritten by the Hadoop code?

How did you manage to get this working?

In the VM settings, I disabled the "Source/Dest checks", but I don't think
this is related.

Have you considered using Amazon's VPN service, I guess then you would have
"local" access to the cluster?

On YARN, Flink is not using the flink-conf.yaml setting for the
jobmanager's hostname. Its using YARN's "yarn.nodemanager.hostname" from
the yarn-site.xml.
I haven't tried it, but it could work if you set the public hostname of
each NodeManager in the yarn-site.xml.

Also, maybe the product forum / customer support of Amazon can help you
here. Other systems like Spark or Storm have very similar architectures and
will face the same issues. I guess they have some recipes for such
situations.

Regards,
Robert
