> Flink native job submission for portable pipelines
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-8471
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-8471
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: runner-flink
> Reporter: Thomas Weise
> Assignee: Thomas Weise
> Priority: Major
> Labels: portability-flink
>
> There are currently two methods to run a portable pipeline written in a
> non-JVM language to Flink:
> 1) Run the SDK client entry point which will submit the job server, which in
> turn will submit to a Flink cluster using the Flink remote environment
> 2) Run the SDK client entry point to generate a Flink jar file that can be
> used to start the Flink job using any of the Flink client tooling available.
> Either approach requires the SDK client and the job server dependency to be
> present on the client. This doesn't work well in environments such as
> FlinkK8sOperator that rely on the Flink REST API jar run endpoint (see
> [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z3LNrRtr8kkiFHonZ5JJM_L4NWNBBNcqRc_yAf6G0VI/edit#heading=h.x7hki4bhh18l]).
> This improvement is to provide a new Flink entry point (main method) that
> invokes the SDK client entry point to generate the pipeline and submits the
> resulting Flink job like any other Flink native driver program would, via the
> optimizer plan environment ("[auto]").
