[jira] [Commented] (BEAM-9423) Re-Add the stop button to the Flink web interface for pipelines

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9423?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17073666#comment-17073666 ] 

Maximilian Michels commented on BEAM-9423:
------------------------------------------

The stop functionality has been removed in Flink 1.9: https://github.com/apache/flink/commit/e95b347dda5233f22fb03e408f2aa521ff924996 That's why we decided to remove it also in Beam.

I'm not sure it makes sense to re-add it for the 1.8 runner, given that support for Flink 1.8 in Beam is likely to be phased out soon.

> The Flink 1.9/1.10 web interface is missing the Stop button for a streaming pipeline, which is pretty useful to drain a streaming pipeline.
> For example to be able to cleanly shutdown a pipeline when a feature is going to be released tomorrow, and the pipeline processing code should be updated before, without the overhead of re-reading the complete past. Taking a snapshot uses the current representation of the Beam code as a Flink job, but what if one wants to update the Beam code and thus the pipeline code without the need to reprocess the whole history? Moreover, a stop button is very useful when a new Flink version is going to be rolled out: then one can drain all pipelines, rollout a new Flink version and start them at the point where they left off with their last committed offset in Kafka.
