Niklas Semmler commented on FLINK-25764:
----------------------------------------
Do I understand you correctly in that you would apply configuration options in
the following priority hierarchy (from least to highest prio)?
# configmap value (default)
# environment variable (default)
# environment variable (user-specified)
# configmap value (user-specified)
# dynamic property
To me this looks a bit confusing. I'd rather remove the default environment
variables and have the following hierarchy:
# configmap value
# environment variable (user-specified)
# dynamic property
For me, an even better experience on kubernetes would be to get rid of
everything but the configmap. However, I understand that this will make the
shell and kubernetes experience different.

> Key: FLINK-25764
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-25764
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Deployment / Kubernetes, flink-docker
> Affects Versions: 1.15.0
> Reporter: Niklas Semmler
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: usability
>
> In the [docker
> entrypoint|https://github.com/apache/flink-docker/blob/master/1.14/scala_2.12-java8-debian/docker-entrypoint.sh],
> the JOB_MANAGER_RPC_ADDRESS is set to the current host by default (line 25).
> This environment variable overrides the value set for jobmanager.rpc.address
> in the flink config (line 78, 71). For the TaskManager, this means that it
> tries to find the JobManager on the same host. When this is not the case, the
> TaskManager will retry and ultimately terminate. Hence, for cluster
> deployments, the variable has to be defined when starting the docker.
> For Kubernetes deployments, the TaskManager cannot connect to the
> jobmanager.rpc.address even when it is defined by the flink configmap.
> However, we don't see this problem pop up, because for now the configmap is
> mounted read-only into the containers (see FLINK-21383 for more details).
> To simplify this configuration, I propose to (a) never set a default setting
> for JOB_MANAGER_RPC_ADDRESS at all or (b) never set a default setting for any
> non-JobManager container. The only down-side is that all docker deployments
> will have to define JOB_MANAGER_RPC_ADDRESS, even when TaskManager and
> JobManager run on the same node.
