Github user tillrohrmann commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2450 I've re-introduced the `ForkableFlinkMiniCluster`. However, this time it only starts the normal distributed component classes (e.g. `JobManager` instead of `TestingJobManager`, etc.). This implies that the testing messages are no longer supported when using the `ForkableFlinkMiniCluster`. I think the user should not meddle with the testing components in the first place. Therefore, it seems to be fair to offer the user a mini cluster to run his tests but not one which instantiates testing components. The recommended cluster is the `LocalFlinkMiniCluster` from now on. However, in order to not break all existing test code, we still maintain the `ForkableFlinkMiniCluster`. Not having to start the testing classes allows to move them back into the test scope of `flink-runtime`, since they are no longer required by the `flink-test-utils` module.
