Apache Flink REST API
The Flink REST API is exposed by the JobManager Dispatcher and provides monitoring and management capabilities for a Flink cluster. It covers cluster configuration, JobManager environment and metrics, job lifecycle (submit, list, cancel, stop), checkpoint and savepoint management, JAR upload and execution, dataset operations, and TaskManager inspection. The same REST API powers the Flink Web UI and is the primary programmatic interface for operating a Flink cluster.
