Adding metadata to the jar

[avilevi]

Is there a way to add some metadata to the jar and see it on dashboard ? I couldn't find a way to do so but I think it very useful. 

Consider that you want to know which version is actually running in the job manager (not just which jar is uploaded which is not necessary being running at the moment ), AFAIK by looking at dashboard there is no way to know which jar / version is actually executing. Well as a workaround you can add something to the job name but this is a limited option, what if one wants to add more info programatically?

Is there a way to do it ?

Hi Avi,

Don't know if there are better ways, but we store the version of the job running and other metadata as part of the "User configuration" of the job, so it shows in the UI when you go to the job Configuration tab inside the job. To do so, when we create the job:

val buildInfo = new Configuration()
buildInfo.setString("version", "0.1.0")

val env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment
env.getConfig.setGlobalJobParameters(buildInfo)
...

It helps us to have a convenient way of knowing what version of the jobs are running, when they were built, etc...

Cheers,

Bruno

One approach I use is to write the git commit sha to the jars manifest while compiling it (I don't use semantic versioning but rather use commit sha).

Then at runtime I read the implementationVersion (class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion()), and print that in the job name.
