Github user mxm commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2928 I think the original intend of the Client shutdown hook was to make sure that clusters which are spawned and didn't receive jobs are cleaned up again. However, that behavior can be quite tricky because a job might actually have been submitted externally. So +1 for removing it altogether.
