             Summary: Add ability to call trigger savepoint on flink cluster 
shutdown
                 Key: FLINK-7963
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7963
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Configuration
            Reporter: Rinat Sharipov


Hi guys, I've got an idea of a little improvement for testing flink jobs.
All my jobs are written in further style. 

I've got a some kind of context, in which all my components, used by job are 
initialized, also I've a some kind of a bootstrap, that wires all components 
from context, looks for a flink streaming environment component and runs job, 
using it.

This approach provides an ability to implement all jobs in the same manner and 
simplify job testing. All I need, is to override some of context components and 
use local stream env instead of stream execution environment.

Everything was quite well, until I wanted to enable checkpointing, and 
implement some kind of business logic, that is called when checkpointing is 
triggered. I understood, that I would like to test this logic, and the best 
approach for me, is to trigger savepoint on flink cluster shutdown, but, when 
I've looked through the source code, I understood, that it's quite challenging 
and couldn't be realised using configuration.

So, I would like to discuss the further proposals:

* add ability to create local env using specified configuration, add method 
`org.apache.flink.streaming.api.scala.StreamExecutionEnvironment#createLocalEnv(parallelism,
 configiuation)`
* provide an ability to trigger savepoint in flink mini cluster on `stop`, if 
such kind of property were specified in configuration

What do you sink about it ? As for me, it'll give as more flexibility in tests, 
and will not force us to use `SavepointMigrationTestBase` such kind of test 
templates

Thx
