[jira] [Updated] (FLINK-14812) Add custom libs to Flink classpath with an environment variable.

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14812?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Eui Heo updated FLINK-14812:
----------------------------
    Description: 
To use plugin library you need to add it to the flink classpath. The documentation explains to put the jar file in the lib path.

https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/monitoring/metrics.html#prometheus-orgapacheflinkmetricsprometheusprometheusreporter

However, to deploy metric-enabled Flinks on a kubernetes cluster, we have the burden of creating and managing another container image. It would be more efficient to add the classpath using environment variables inside the constructFlinkClassPath function in the config.sh file.

In particular, it seems inconvenient for me to create a separate image to use the jars, even though the /opt/ flink/opt of the stock image already contains them.

For example, there are metrics libs and file system libs:

flink-azure-fs-hadoop-1.9.1.jar
flink-s3-fs-hadoop-1.9.1.jar
flink-metrics-prometheus-1.9.1.jar
flink-metrics-influxdb-1.9.1.jar
