Hi, By naming the container flink-main-container, Flink will know which container spec it should use for the Flink containers. If you change the name Flink won't know which container spec to use for the Flink container, and will probably think it's just a sidecar container, and there will still be a flink-main-container with the default spec instead.
There is unfortunately no way to rename this container as of now.
