To be honest, I don't know why the `TaskOperationResult` stores the exception as a string. I assume that it's some legacy artifact. I'm not a big fan of it. But you can use the `StringUtils.stringifyException` to also include the stack trace of the exception in the string. > Add "stop" signal to cleanly shutdown streaming jobs > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-2111 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2111 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Distributed Runtime, JobManager, Local Runtime, > Streaming, TaskManager, Webfrontend > Reporter: Matthias J.
