Hi, I have a problem retrieving `TaskManager` memory configuration settings from the `ExecutionEnvironment` or I wonder if there is way at all to do so. Basically what I’m trying to do is: I create FlinkJobs using the Java DataSet API, for that I also need the available memory on the `TaskManager`s, but *before* creating/running the job.
The options I came up with so far, are: 1. Parse the Flink configuration myself using `GlobalConfiguration#loadConfiguration(String)`. This has the disadvantage that it doesn’t seem to set default parameters, hence if I use `LocalFlinkMiniCluster` or some parameters are simply not set in the YAML file they will not be present in the returned `Configuration` object 2. Create a “dummy” job just to start the `JobManager` and `TaskManager`s and somehow access the `TaskManagerConfiguration`, here I don’t see an easy way to actually access the `Taskmanager`s configuration. 3. Use `EnvironmentInformation` to access the memory options from the JVM running the Flink `TaskManager`. This has the disadvantage that this only gives me a rough estimation on the actual available memory per `TaskManager`, since I don’t know how many bytes are reserved for `NetworkBuffer`s etc. Ultimately I only need the the amount of available memory on the `TaskManger`s that I can use to store broadcast variables. Does anyone have an idea how I can retrieve this information ideally before actually running a Flink job? Best regards, Christoph
