Hi Niels,
Very good question! The config file which is written serves as a hint
for the client. When the YARN session is started without high
availability mode, i.e. no high availability settings have been found
in the client's config, the client will try to look up the job manager
using the hostname and port found in the file. In the high
availability case, the client will perform a lookup with Zookeeper to
find the current active job manager.
Thus, submitting a new job after a job manager failover should work fine.
Cheers,
Max
