optimal deployment model for Flink Streaming programs

[Dipl.-Inf. Rico Bergmann]

Hi!

We want to build an infrastructure for automated deployment of Flink 
Streaming programs to a dedicated environment. This includes automated 
tests (unit and integration) via Jenkins and in case of a successful 
build&test the program should be deployed to the execution environment.

Since streaming programs run infinitely, the problem is to switch from 
the running program to the newly deployed. The CLI has some features 
that would make it possible (list, cancel). Is there another way of 
somehow restarting a streaming program? Do you have a suggested way for 
the deployment (automated!)?
