If it fails, then your job cannot be recovered and the Flink cluster > is no longer able to receive new jobs. > Therefore, it is crucial to make the {{JobManager}} fault tolerant so that > the Flink cluster can recover from failed {{JobManager}}. As a first step > towards this goal, I propose to make the {{JobManager}} highly available by > starting multiple instances and using Apache ZooKeeper to elect a leader. The > leader is responsible for the execution of the Flink job. > In case that the {{JobManager}} dies, one of the other running {{JobManager}} > will be elected as the leader and take over the role of the leader. The > {{Client}} and the {{TaskManager}} will automatically detect the new > {{JobManager}} by querying the ZooKeeper cluster. > Note that this does not achieve full fault tolerance for the {{JobManager}} > but it allows the cluster to recover from failed {{JobManager}}. The design > of high-availability for the {{JobManager}} is tracked in the wiki here [1]. > Resources: > [1] > [https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/JobManager+High+Availability] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
