Ismaël Mejía commented on FLINK-16846:
--------------------------------------
[~rmetzger] my idea here was to have docker images that include python so users
that want to run flink jobs with python would not need to extend the images to
do so. (Notice that I did not give much thought to supporting multiple python
versions). I am not that familiar with pyflink but I suppose that including
flink-VERSION.tar.gz would not be enough because we will probably need to also
include the python required dependencies.
Other advantage of this is for users getting started with flink in a docker
image to be able to play with it, I created this issue after suggesting to
someone who wanted to play with pyflink to use the docker image, just to
realize afterwards that it was not possible, when executing inside of the
container:
{{$ pyflink-shell.sh local}}
{{/opt/flink/bin/pyflink-shell.sh: line 84: python: command not found}}
I am not sure if I am clear enough, I can definitely improve the description if
you guys think there is some value/interest on this, otherwise maybe we should
close it and probably make clear in the flink docker image documentation that
python is not supported/included.
