---------------------------------
Summary: Add setDescription to execution environment and display
it in the UI
Key: FLINK-9682
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9682
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: DataStream API, Webfrontend
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Reporter: Elias Levy
Currently you can provide a job name to {{execute}} in the execution
environment. In an environment where many version of a job may be executing,
such as a development or test environment, identifying which running job is of
a specific version via the UI can be difficult unless the version is embedded
into the job name given the {{execute}}. But the job name is uses for other
purposes, such as for namespacing metrics. Thus, it is not ideal to modify the
job name, as that could require modifying metric dashboards and monitors each
time versions change.
I propose a new method be added to the execution environment,
{{setDescription}}, that would allow a user to pass in an arbitrary description
that would be displayed in the dashboard, allowing users to distinguish jobs.
