             Summary: Extending /jars/:jarid/run API to 
                 Key: FLINK-27060
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-27060
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Runtime / REST
            Reporter: Zhanghao Chen


*Background*

Users want to submit job via Flink REST API instead of Flink CLI which is more 
heavy-weight in certain scenarios, for example, a lightweight data processing 
workflow system that has Flink related systems.

Currently, the /jars/:jarid/run API 
([https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/ops/rest_api/#jars-jarid-run)]
 only supports a few selected Flink config options listed in the doc 
(parallelism、savepoint path and allow non-restored state), which is 
insufficient for practical use.

*Proposed Changes*

Extending the /jars/:jarid/run API with an additional request body parameter 
"configs", which is a map of flink configuration option-value pairs set by 
users.

For backward compatibility, we can retain the existing body parameters like 
"allowNonRestoredState", and when there's conflicting configurations, let the 
values set explicitly with existing body parameters take higher precedence over 
the values set by configs.
