> Key: FLINK-3357
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3357
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: Ufuk Celebi
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> There are several places that use JobId.toShortString() instead of the full JobID, for unique directories, etc.
> I think we should drop that method.
> - If the short String representation (8 bytes) is statistically "unique enough", then it is wrong in the first place that the unique IDs have 16 bytes
> - If 16 bytes were chosen with a purpose, then using the short string representation in paths, etc, is clearly violating the guarantees the IDs try to give,
> For purely informational logging, it may be a nice util, bit it seems to encourage wrong use.
