Originally I had: *public static void *main(String[] args) {
StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment. *getExecutionEnvironment*(); … This was nice because this would work just as well in my kubernetes deployment as it did when I just ran the main directly. However there’s no way to set configuration in the case where the local environment is selected (when I run main directly). I am currently writing: Configuration conf = *new *Configuration(); conf.setString(*"metrics.reporter.jmx.class"*, *"org.apache.flink.metrics.jmx.JMXReporter"*); conf.setString(*"metrics.reporter.jmx.port"*,*"8789"*); StreamExecutionEnvironment env = LocalStreamEnvironment. *createLocalEnvironment*(8, conf); This is fair enough for experimentation I suppose. It just a shame that the second bit of code is specific to the local environment. However, I was thinking of using the JMXReporter in performance tests, so it would be nice to find a general solution to this. Perhaps I will just parameterise all my Pipeline classes by StreamExecutionEvironment i.e. *// constructor**public *FooPipeline(StreamExecutionEnvironment env) { } And drop in the standard environment or the test environment as appropriate. This is simple enough but I was just emailing this list because at first (before I started experimenting with metrics) it seemed that this wouldn’t be necessary.
