Good news, it can be done if you carefully encode the target directory with percent-encoding, as per: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-2.1
For example, given the directory `s3:///savepoint-bucket/my-awesome-job`, which encodes to `s3%3A%2F%2F%2Fsavepoint-bucket%2Fmy-awesome-job`, I was able to submit the following URL: http://localhost:8081/jobs/5c360ded6e4b7d8db103e71d68b7c83d/cancel-with-savepoint/target-directory/s3%3A%2F%2F%2Fsavepoint-bucket%2Fmy-awesome-job And see the following in the log: 2017-09-19 14:27:45,939 INFO org.apache.flink.runtime.jobmanager.JobManager - Trying to cancel job 5c360ded6e4b7d8db103e71d68b7c83d with savepoint to s3:///savepoint-bucket/my-awesome-job -Eron On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 1:54 PM, Fabian Hueske <fhue...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Emily, > > thanks for reaching out. > I'm not familiar with the details of the Rest API but Ufuk (in CC) might > be able to help you. > > Best, Fabian > > 2017-09-19 10:23 GMT+02:00 Emily McMahon <emil...@remitly.com>: > >> I've tried every combination I can think of to pass an s3 path as the >> target directory (url encode, include trailing slash, etc) >> >> I can successfully pass a local path as the target directory (ie >> /jobs/$jobID/cancel-with-savepoint/target-directory/tmp) so I don't >> think there's a problem with the jobId or rest of the url.
