[FLINK-8887] Wait for JobMaster leader election in Dispatcher ## What is the purpose of the change Before sending requests from the Dispatcher to the JobMasters, the Dispatcher must wait until the respective JobMaster has gained leadership. Otherwise we might risk that the messages are ignored because no fencing token was set. This is solved by letting the JobManagerRunner expose a CompletableFuture<JobMasterGateway> which is only completed after the JobMaster has gained leadership. The future is cleared once the leadership is revoked. cc @GJL ## Brief change log - confirm leader session after `JobMaster` is started by `JobManagerRunner` - expose `JobMasterGateway` as a future in `JobManagerRunner` - Wait for the `JobMasterGateway#getLeaderGatewayFuture` completion before sending messages from the `Dispatcher` to the `JobMaster` ## Verifying this change - Added `DispatcherTest#testWaitingForJobMasterLeadership` ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (no) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (no) - The serializers: (no) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (no) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (yes) - The S3 file system connector: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
