Hi,

Flink redirects stdout to the taskmanager.out when starting TaskManager. 
If taskmanager.out is deleted, Flink cannot automatically create 
taskmanager.out, which means any subsequent output to stdout will be lost.

If you want to clean up the content of taskmanager.out, you can try using:

     > taskmanager.out 

This operation does not modify the Inode of the file and ensures that the 
Taskmanager can continue to redirects stdout to taskmanager.out

Best,
Weihua
