Hi all,

(This is a cross-post from a Slack message posted in #dev [1]. Posting here for 
visibility)

Recently I’ve been looking into improving the REST API that Flink has, to make 
it more generally available for programmatic access (e.g. control functions) 
rather than just for the Flink dashboard.

In particular, various APIs seem to consume from the ExecutionGraph cache, 
which is useful when displaying on a Flink dashboard (to guarantee consistent 
behaviour), but since there is no way to “force” the latest result, it might be 
not very useful for a control-function that wants to retrieve the latest data. 
This could be achieved via Cache-Control HTTP headers, as mentioned on this 
thread [2].

Looking for any contributors / committers who are interested in working on 
these items together! (To bounce ideas / deliver this faster)
