             Summary: Improve lifecycle management of created BlobCaches in TaskManagerLogHandler and JobClient
                 Key: FLINK-6523
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6523
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Distributed Coordination
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0, 1.4.0
            Reporter: Till Rohrmann


Some components like the {{JobClient#retrieveClassLoader}} and {{TaskManagerLogHandler}} create {{BlobCaches}} to retrieve data from the {{BlobServer}}. These instances are created in a local context and their lifecycle is not properly managed. The cleanup/closing solely relies on the fact that their storage directory will be cleaned up eventually by a registered shutdown hook.

I think it would be better to properly implement a lifecycle management for these components and close them at an appropriate location in the code. E.g. one could pass in a shared {{BlobCache}} which is closed once the JobClient action is over.
