Aitozi commented on FLINK-24063:
--------------------------------

Thanks for your reply [~trohrmann]. I think there are two case will invoke 
runCluster 

 * Client submit start a new job 
 * An old jobManager failed, and spawned a new one.

In case1: if we do not {{STOP_APPLICATION}} after failure, client may keep 
waiting for the cluster to be ready ? 

In case2: I think it's ok to let the job restart again by using 
{{ShutdownBehaviour.STOP_PROCESS}}

The difference is that we may expect a job especially a streaming job keep 
running without turning to a terminated status.

> Reconsider the behavior of ClusterEntrypoint#startCluster failure handler

> If the job runCluster failed, it will trigger the STOP_APPLICATION behavior. 
> But if we consider a case like that:
>  # A job have running for a long time
>  # Then the JobManager encounter a fatal error like the network problem, 
> which may let the jobManager process down
>  # Then a new process will be started by the resource framework like yarn or 
> kubernetes. But it will failed at the ClusterEntrypoint#startCluster due to 
> the same network problem. 
>  # Then the job turn into the FAILED status.
>  
> This means  a streaming job will no longer run due to some fatal error, this 
> is somehow fragile. I think we should give some retry mechanism to prevent 
> the job fast fail twice ,so that deal with some external error which may keep 
> for a period of time.
