Kyle Weaver commented on BEAM-6959:
-----------------------------------

I was able to get the Go integration tests running successfully against a Flink 
job server that I manually started in a separate terminal.

The tricky thing here is how the job server will be created and shut down in 
the actual test environment. In Java portable validatesRunner tests, a GRPC 
server is created wrapping the job service [1]. In Python, the job server is 
containerized via some bespoke code [2]. In both cases, the job server is 
actually brought up in the native SDK itself. The advantage here is that ports 
can be dynamically assigned.

As far as I can tell, the Go SDK does not have any such code allowing us to 
start and stop a job server. The alternatives here seem to be a) doing 
something like what Python did with containerizing it or b) managing the job 
server from Gradle or bash instead.
