[FLINK-29643] Possible NPE in ApplicationDispatcherBootstrap with failedJob submission and no HA

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 1.16.0, 1.17.0, 1.15.3
• Component/s: Client / Job Submission
• Assignee: Unassigned

Description

If

• PipelineOptionsInternal.PIPELINE_FIXED_JOB_ID is not set, and
• high availabibility is not activated, and
• DeploymentOptions.SUBMIT_FAILED_JOB_ON_APPLICATION_ERROR is set,
  then a failure in job submission may fail with an NPE since the appropriate code in ApplicationDispatcherBootstrap#runApplicationEntryPoint() is trying to read the failedJobId from the configuration where it will not be present in these cases.

Please refer to the conditions that set the jobId in ApplicationDispatcherBootstrap.fixJobIdAndRunApplicationAsync().
