Apache Flink as a Service using REST API

Question

I am trying to create a web application with Apache Flink as a backend. Here flink need to talk to application layer(generally UI), so that the results from flink can be sent to frontend.

In Short i am looking for flink counterparts of projects like:

• Spark Job Server https://github.com/spark-jobserver/spark-jobserver
• Mist https://github.com/Hydrospheredata/mist

Answer 1

The (deceptively titled) Monitoring Rest API detailed here seems like the way to go. Even though it says "Monitoring" it actually can upload, start, and stop jobs. In fact, based on the documentation it seems like it should do everything the web UI does.
