Jamie Grier created FLINK-4947: ---------------------------------- Summary: Make all configuration possible via flink-conf.yaml and CLI. Key: FLINK-4947 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4947 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: DataStream API Reporter: Jamie Grier Fix For: 1.2.0
I think it's important to make all configuration possible via the flink-conf.yaml and the command line. As an example: To enable "externalizedCheckpoints" you must actually call the StreamExecutionEnvironment#enableExternalizedCheckpoints() method from your Flink program. Another example of this would be configuring the RocksDB state backend. I think it important to make deployment flexible and easy to build tools around. For example, the infrastructure teams that make these configuration decisions and provide tools for deploying Flink apps, will be different from the teams deploying apps. The team writing apps should not have to set all of this lower level configuration up in their programs. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
