The situation is as Dian said. Flink identifies jobs by job id instead of
job name.

However, I think it is still a valid question if it is an alternative Flink
identifies jobs by job name and
leaves the work to distinguish jobs by name to users. The advantages in
this way includes a readable
display and interaction, as well as reduce some hardcode works on job id,
such as we always set
job id to new JobID(0, 0) in standalone per-job mode for getting the same
ZK path.

Best,
tison.
