BigData / Apache StreamPark Interview questions

Explain the lifecycle of a StreamPark Application from creation to termination?

A StreamPark "Application" moves through a well-defined set of states, and understanding the flow makes it easier to reason about where a stuck job actually is.

stateDiagram-v2 [*] --> Created Created --> Building: Project build triggered Building --> Ready: Build succeeds Building --> BuildFailed: Build fails Ready --> Starting: User clicks Start Starting --> Running: Cluster accepts submission Starting --> StartFailed: Submission error Running --> SavepointInProgress: Savepoint triggered SavepointInProgress --> Running: Savepoint completes Running --> Stopping: User stops job (optionally with savepoint) Stopping --> Stopped: Cluster confirms termination Running --> Failed: Job fails on cluster Stopped --> Starting: Restart, optionally from savepoint Failed --> Starting: Manual or automatic restart

An Application starts as a configuration record: development mode, execution mode, Flink version, and parameters, tied to either an uploaded jar or Flink SQL. If it uses Project Management, it moves through a build stage before it's runnable. Starting it hands control to the relevant Flink Submit implementation, and a successful submission moves it to Running, where StreamPark polls the cluster for live status.

From Running, the application can be savepointed (state captured without stopping), stopped (optionally with a final savepoint for a clean restart later), or fail on the cluster, which is reported back and can trigger alerts. Restarting a stopped or failed Application typically resumes from its last savepoint rather than starting the state fresh, closing the loop back to Running.

What typically happens to state when a stopped Application is restarted?
Which stage does an Application pass through only if it uses Project Management?
