BigData / Apache StreamPark Interview questions
How does StreamPark support running multiple Flink versions side by side?
Different teams on one StreamPark install often need different Flink versions — one job stuck on an older version for compatibility, another on the latest release. StreamPark handles this by letting administrators register multiple Flink distributions (multiple FLINK_HOME installations) on the settings page, rather than baking in a single fixed version.
When a job is configured, it selects which registered Flink version to run against. StreamPark's submission layer then uses the right binaries and client libraries for that specific version, so a YARN Application-mode job on Flink 1.17 and another on Flink 1.20 can coexist and be managed from the same console without one installation interfering with the other.
This is what lets an organization upgrade Flink incrementally, job by job, instead of a risky all-at-once cutover.
