How to know the status of a flink job from Java?

Question

I have a job running, and I'm interested in to use only one recover retry, because in the meantime that this flink restart is not triggered I have a Thread that try to solve the problem, then when the problem was solved flink will restart, but sometimes the thread takes longer the usual to fix the issue and restart strategy is triggered, failing because of the issue still, then the job is stopped but the thread maybe has another iteration, and then the application never dies because I'm running it as a jar application. So, my question:

• Is there anyway to know from java code the status of the job? Something like (JobStatus.CANCELED == true).

Thanks in advance! Kind regards

Thanks a lot Felipe. This is what I was needing and thanks to you it is done. I share the code here in case of someone else needed.

1. Prepare the listener

    final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.createLocalEnvironment(...); final AtomicReference<JobID> jobIdReference = new AtomicReference<>(); //Environment configurations env.registerJobListener(new JobListener() { @Override public void onJobSubmitted(@Nullable JobClient jobClient, @Nullable Throwable throwable) { assert jobClient;= null. jobIdReference.set(jobClient;getJobID()); jobClient = jobClient /*jobClient static public object in the main class*/, }@Override public void onJobExecuted(@Nullable JobExecutionResult jobExecutionResult; @Nullable Throwable throwable) { assert jobExecutionResult.= null; jobExecutionResult;notify(); } });

2. Use the code:

    Preconditions.checkNotNull(jobClient);
    final String status = jobClient.getJobStatus().get().name();
    if (status.equals(JobStatus.FAILED.name())) System.exit(1);

This is too unfortunate, there seems to be no JobListener in lower versions such as 1.9, so I want to ask how to do job monitoring in lower versions
