Hi forks, Recently, our customers ask for a feature configuring remote flink jar. I'd like to reach to you guys to see whether or not it is a general need.
ATM Flink only supports configures local file as flink jar via `-yj` option. If we pass a HDFS file path, due to implementation detail it will fail with IllegalArgumentException. In the story we support configure remote flink jar, this limitation is eliminated. We also make use of YARN locality so that reducing uploading overhead, instead, asking YARN to localize the jar on AM container started. Besides, it possibly has overlap with FLINK-13938. I'd like to put the discussion on our mailing list first. Are you looking forward to such a feature? @Yang Wang: this feature is different from that we discussed offline, it only focuses on flink jar, not all ship files. Best, tison.
