[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-27095) Allow FlinkDeployment Mode Switching

["Gyula Fora (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-27095?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17518115#comment-17518115 ] 

Gyula Fora commented on FLINK-27095:
------------------------------------

Flink Application and Session clusters work very differently and have very different lifecycles. It is not possible to run single jobs on an application cluster or to submit and application job to a session cluster. (so re-using resources is unfortunately not possible)

This is not a limitation of the operator but this is how flink works. These two deployment modes have very little in common so the user would never want to switch between them. Thus we should not allow it I think.

> Currently the operator doesn't allow switching the mode of an existing FlinkDeployment between Application and Session.
> I don't see why this shouldn't be allowed, if the mode is switched we should tear-down the cluster and spin-up a new cluster running in this new mode. It will add complexity into the connector but seems like a valid use-case.
