Hi,

It is generally recommended for streaming engines, also including Flink to run 
a separate master node - in the case of Flink, the JobManager. 

However, why should one in Flink run the JobManager on a separate node? 

Performance wise, the JobManager isn’t intense unlike of course TaskManagers. 

In terms of fault tolerance and a failing JobManager, semantically there is no 
difference. 

Hence, what are the main reasons behind this rationale? 

Thanks in advance.
