[FLINK-8234][flip6] Cache JobExecutionResult in Dispatcher ## What is the purpose of the change Cache `JobExecutionResult` in `Dispatcher`, and add methods to `RestfulGateway` to enable retrieval of results through HTTP (not yet implemented). This will be needed so that accumulator results can be transmitted to the client. ## Brief change log - *Introduce new JobExecutionResult used by JobMaster to forward the information in the already existing JobExecutionResult.* - *Always cache a JobExecutionResult. Even in case of job failures. In case of job failures, the serialized exception is stored additionally.* - *Introduce new methods to RestfulGateway to allow retrieval of cached JobExecutionResults.* ## Verifying this change This change added tests and can be verified as follows: - *Added unit tests to verify that the Dispatcher caches the job results when the job finishes successfully or by failure.* ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (yes / **no**) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (yes / **no**) - The serializers: (yes / **no** / don't know) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (yes / **no** / don't know) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (**yes** / no / don't know) - The S3 file system connector: (yes / **no** / don't know) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
