Hi, As a first comment, the work mentioned in the FLIP-6 doc you linked is still work-in-progress. You cannot use these abstractions yet without going into the code and setting up a cluster “by hand”.
The documentation for one-step deployment of a Job to YARN is available here: https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.2/setup/yarn_setup.html#run-a-single-flink-job-on-yarn <https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.2/setup/yarn_setup.html#run-a-single-flink-job-on-yarn> Regarding your third question, ZooKeeper is mostly used for discovery and leader election. That is, JobManagers use it to decide who is the main JM and who are standby JMs. TaskManagers use it to discover the leading JobManager that they should connect to. I’m also cc’ing Till, who should know this stuff better and can maybe explain it in a bit more detail. Best, Aljoscha > On 1.
