Hi,

We recently bumped to Flink 1.4 from 1.3.2, and found out an issue on HDFS
configuration.

We are using *FlinkYarnSessionCli* to start the cluster and submit job.

In 1.3.2, we set below Flink properties when using checkpoints:
state.backend.fs.checkpointdir = hdfs://nameservice0/.../..
state.checkpoints.dir = hdfs://nameservice0/../..

The mapping between logical nameservice (nameservice0) and actual namenodes
hostports are passed to Flink via *yarnship/core-site.xml *(by providing
the -yt option), and set fs.hdfs.hadoopconf=yarnship/

However, we encountered below error after bumping to 1.4, which caused the
checkpointing to fail.

It does not recognize nameservice0 because the *core-site.xml *on the
actual machine (read in by Flink via $HADOOP_CONF_DIR) does not use
nameservice0 but something else for the *fs.defaultFs*

Digging a little bit, I found that the *hadoopConfig* (code
<https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-filesystems/flink-hadoop-fs/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/runtime/fs/hdfs/HadoopFsFactory.java#L159>)
does
not have the properties we set via *yarnship/core-site.xml*. Especially, I
suspect it is due to the cached *HadoopFsFactory* is initialized with an
dummy Configuration (code
<https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/core/fs/FileSystem.java#L387>),
which prevents future *flinkConfig* getting passed in (code
<https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-filesystems/flink-hadoop-fs/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/runtime/fs/hdfs/HadoopFsFactory.java#L84>
).

I am not sure if this is intentional, or has been solved in later releases.
Has anyone encountered the same problem? And I would appreciate any
suggestions.

Thanks,
Yan
