-------------------------------------

             Summary: execute stream job asynchronously
                 Key: FLINK-4828
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4828
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: DataStream API
            Reporter: David Anderson


It is currently awkward to work with datastreams in a notebook (e.g. Zeppelin or Jupyter) because env.execute() never returns, and there is no way to control the job that has been started. It would be much better to have a variant like env.executeAsync() that executes the job in another thread, and returns right away. This method should return an object that can be used to cancel or stop the job.
