Mapping of CLI arguments to flink-conf.yaml

[Sergey Zhemzhitsky]

Hi there

I mostly use flink for stream-processing jobs and deploy them as
independent ones [1]. So I'd like every job to have its own
configuration and don't like to remember the values of all the command
line arguments used to start the job every time.

In spark for most of the CLI arguments there is a corresponding
configuration option that can be set on the per-job basis in
spark-defaults.conf file or programmatically via SparkConf. For
example --name CLI argument has spark.app.name configuration option,
etc.

So I'm just wondering which options from flink-conf.yaml correspond to
the following command line arguments:

  Options for yarn-cluster mode:
     -d,--detached                        If present, runs the job in detached
                                          mode
     -m,--jobmanager <arg>                Address of the JobManager (master) to
                                          which to connect. Use this flag to
                                          connect to a different JobManager than
                                          the one specified in the
                                          configuration.
     -yD <property=value>                 use value for given property
     -yd,--yarndetached                   If present, runs the job in detached
                                          mode (deprecated; use non-YARN
                                          specific option instead)
     -yh,--yarnhelp                       Help for the Yarn session CLI.
     -yid,--yarnapplicationId <arg>       Attach to running YARN session
     -yj,--yarnjar <arg>                  Path to Flink jar file
     -yjm,--yarnjobManagerMemory <arg>    Memory for JobManager Container with
                                          optional unit (default: MB)
     -yn,--yarncontainer <arg>            Number of YARN container to allocate
                                          (=Number of Task Managers)
     -ynl,--yarnnodeLabel <arg>           Specify YARN node label for the YARN
                                          application
     -ynm,--yarnname <arg>                Set a custom name for the application
                                          on YARN
     -yq,--yarnquery                      Display available YARN resources
                                          (memory, cores)
     -yqu,--yarnqueue <arg>               Specify YARN queue.
     -ys,--yarnslots <arg>                Number of slots per TaskManager
     -yst,--yarnstreaming                 Start Flink in streaming mode
     -yt,--yarnship <arg>                 Ship files in the specified directory
                                          (t for transfer)
     -ytm,--yarntaskManagerMemory <arg>   Memory per TaskManager Container with
                                          optional unit (default: MB)
     -yz,--yarnzookeeperNamespace <arg>   Namespace to create the Zookeeper
                                          sub-paths for high availability mode
     -z,--zookeeperNamespace <arg>        Namespace to create the Zookeeper
                                          sub-paths for high availability mode
