Hi All, I am opening this thread to discuss FLIP-563: Support for provided lib archives in YARN Application Mode <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-563+Support+provided+lib+archives+for+YARN+application+mode> .
Today *yarn.provided.lib.dirs* assumes pre-uploaded directories of jars. In practice, many deployments package shared libs as *.tgz/.tar.gz* and/or hit classpath “*argument too long*” issues when many jars are enumerated. *Proposal:* introduce *yarn.provided.lib.archives* to point to pre-uploaded HDFS archives. Flink would localize them as public archive resources and add a single wildcard classpath entry per archive (e.g., <archiveDir>/*). Backward compatible and no change unless configured. Please feel free to reply to this email thread and share your opinions. Thanks, Archit Goyal
