Updating Job dependencies without restarting Flink

[Rohil Surana <ro...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

We have a lot of jobs on Flink cluster that are using some common
dependencies and I wanted to know if there is a way to place those
dependencies in the flink lib folder so they will be available to the
applications without restarting the flink cluster, so that next time a job
is started latest versions of  those dependencies are available for use. We
are using Flink 1.4.0

Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Hi,

I'm quite sure that is not supported.
You'd have to take a savepoint and restart the application.
Depending on the sink system, you could start the new job before shutting
the old job down.

Best, Fabian
