Github user tillrohrmann commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4926 Alright, thanks for the infos @steveloughran. After an offline discussion with @StephanEwen, we decided that we should probably not try to explicitly load a Hadoop configuration file from within a Yarn application because it might conflict with the configuration file which has been loaded from the classpath. Therefore, we should try to load all configurations from the classpath. Therefore, I'll close this PR and the corresponding JIRA issue.
