Firstly, it does not support nested structure configuration items and only supports key-value pairs, resulting in poor readability. Secondly, if the value is a collection type, such as a List or Map, users are required to write the value in a FLINK-specific pattern, which is inconvenient to use. Additionally, the parser of FLINK has some differences in syntax compared to the standard YAML parser, such as the syntax for parsing comments and null values. These inconsistencies can cause confusion for users, as seen in FLINK-15358 and FLINK-32740. By supporting standard YAML, these issues can be resolved, and users can create a Flink configuration file using third-party tools and leverage some advanced YAML features. Therefore, we propose to support standard YAML for FLINK configuration. You can find more details in the FLIP-366[1]. Looking forward to your feedback.
