Dian Fu created FLINK-21222: ------------------------------- Summary: Support loopback mode to allow Python UDF worker and client reuse the same Python VM Key: FLINK-21222 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21222 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: API / Python Reporter: Dian Fu
Currently the Python process for the client and the Python UDF worker runs in different Python processes. It would bring the following benefits if we could support loopback mode to allow Python UDF worker and client reuse the same Python VM: 1) It could greatly reduce the job initialization overhead in mini-cluster mode as there is no need to start the Python process any more. 2) It makes the debug easier. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
