Hi Lukas, It seems that when using MiniCluster, the config key akka.ask.timeout is not respected. Instead, a hardcoded timeout of 10s is used [1]. Since all communication is locally, it would be interesting to see in detail what your job looks like that it exceeds the timeout.
The key akka.ask.timeout specifies the default RPC timeout. However, for requests originating from the REST API, web.timeout overrides this value. When submitting a job using the CLI to a (standalone) cluster, a request is issued against the REST API. Therefore, you can try setting web.timeout=100000 in the flink-conf.yaml as already proposed by Vishal Santoshi.
