>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Client / Job Submission
>    Affects Versions: 1.16.0
>            Reporter: Zhanghao Chen
>            Priority: Major
>             Fix For: 1.17.0

> *Problem*
> Currently, the procedure of retrieving a Flink on YARN cluster client is as follows (in YarnClusterDescriptor#retrieve method):
>  # Get application report from YARN
>  # Set rest.address & rest.port using the info from application report
>  # Create a new RestClusterClient using the updated configuration, will use client HA serivce to fetch the rest.address & rest.port if HA is enabled
> Here, we can see that the usage of client HA in step 3 is redundant, as we've already got the rest.address & rest.port from YARN application report. When ZK HA is enabled, this would take ~1.5 s to initialize client HA services and fetch the rest IP & port. 
> 1.5 s can mean a lot for latency-sensitive client operations.  In my company, we use Flink client to submit short-running session jobs and e2e latency is critical. The job submission time is around 10 s on average, and 1.5s would mean 15% of time saving. 
> *Proposal*
> When retrieving a Flink on YARN cluster client, use StandaloneClientHAServices to
> create RestClusterClient instead as we have pre-fetched rest.address & rest.port from YARN application report. This is also what we did in KubernetesClusterDescriptor.
