Hi Ankit, I realized I can answer your questions myself :)
#1 I think that's possible, by using the same high-availability.zookeeper.path.root configuration parameter between the runs. By default, on YARN we are using the YARN application ID as the root path, but if you are putting a custom one there, Flink will recover running jobs even if you are starting a new EMR cluster (assuming the files are in s3). #2 in current Flink we can not expand a running Flink job! Yarn will see new machines being added to the cluster, and it can use them for future Flink deployments on YARN (as you said). We are working on adding support for dynamically changing the Flink hardware allocations as part of FLIP-6. Please keep asking and bugging us if we are not responding. Its just that most Flink developers are quite busy with the 1.3 release right now.
