David Anderson created FLINK-4828: ------------------------------------- Summary: execute stream job asynchronously Key: FLINK-4828 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4828 Project: Flink Issue Type: New Feature Components: DataStream API Reporter: David Anderson
It is currently awkward to work with datastreams in a notebook (e.g. Zeppelin or Jupyter) because env.execute() never returns, and there is no way to control the job that has been started. It would be much better to have a variant like env.executeAsync() that executes the job in another thread, and returns right away. This method should return an object that can be used to cancel or stop the job. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
