Summary: Add documentation around save point with cancel lifecycle through REST Key: FLINK-12333 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12333 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Runtime / REST Affects Versions: 1.8.0 Reporter: Vishal Santoshi Exit code 2 seen ( after 5 minutes ) when {code:java} curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"target-directory":"***********","cancel-job":true}' https://***************/jobs/00000000000000000000000000000000/savepoints{code} It seems that when a REST call is "Triggered the cancel with savepoint command from via the REST call. This command is an asynchronous operation which produces a result (the savepoint path). In order to deliver asynchronous results to the caller, Flink waits before shutting down until they are delivered or until it times out after 5 minutes." That implies that one has to execute {code:java} curl --request GET https://**********/jobs/00000000000000000000000000000000/savepoints/[Request_id] {code} on the request_id returned by the first call ( within 5 minutes ) , for a clean exit ( code 0 ) Please add this life cycle in flink documentation , in all probability here [https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/monitoring/rest_api.html#jobs-jobid-savepoints] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
