Hi Mu, AFAIK, that is the expected behavior when you launch your cluster in standalone mode. Flink HA guarantees that the standby JM will take over the whole cluster. The illustration just said recovered JM will become another standby machine, but recovering a single instance is not the Flink HA's responsibility. One possible way might be using supervisord [1] to launch your JM instance, it can help you monitor your process and automatically restart when the process accidentally failed. Or you can use YARN cluster, the YARN cluster will be responsible for recovering the dead JM.
