[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-15116) Make JobClient stateless, remove AutoCloseable

["Aljoscha Krettek (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15116?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16990056#comment-16990056 ] 

Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-15116:
------------------------------------------

If the {{JobClient}} is stateless FLINK-14992 becomes easier because we can just always pass a {{JobClient}} to the {{JobListener}} and not care about the lifecycle.

> Currently, {{JobClient}} is {{AutoCloseable}} and we require users to close the {{JobClient}} that they get as a result from {{executeAsync()}}. This is problematic because users can simply ignore the result of {{executeAsync()}} and then we will leak the resources that the client has.
> We should change the {{JobClient}} so that it acquires the required {{ClusterClient}} for each method call and closes it again. 
> This means that the users no longer have the burden of managing the JobClient lifecycle, i.e. they can freely ignore the result of executeAsync().
