I'm not aware of any plans to expose this in the StreamExecutionEnvironment.
The issue would be that we would start mixing submission details with the job definition, which results in redundancy and weird semantics, e.g., which savepoint configuration takes priority if both a job and CLI job submission specify it?
Looking at the Beam JIRA it would be sufficient to have this in the RemoteStreamEnvironment (which would be /less /problematic since the issue above is baked into this class anyway), however I would recommend migrating to a ClusterClient for these use-cases.

Hi, Currently it is not possible to submit a job with savepoint restore option through the execution environment. I found that while attempting to add the support to the Flink runner in Beam ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-5396) I also found https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9644 - but is there a plan to support restore from savepoint through StreamExecutionEnvironment in general? Thanks, Thomas
