Github user StephanEwen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1214#issuecomment-146876057 Having a dedicated executor on the JobManager seems like a very big thing, for a not so important issue. Why not just fail when someone tries to submit a interactive program detached? Long term, we can think about deploying the driver program to a YARN container, if desired. That way, the submission process is detached, and the execution follows its core model.
