'Flink TaskManager not reconnecting to the new Jobmanager
I have configured Flink in HA mode as mentioned here:
I wanted to test the fault tolerance, hence I did the following:
- Setup Flink cluster with 2 JobManagers and 1 TaskManager
 - Start a streaming job on task manager
 - Kill the active job manager(to simulate a crash)
 - The leader election is happening as expected.
 - But the task manager is noted reconnecting to the new job manager. It simply tries to reconnect to the previous leader every 10seconds.
 
Pasting the task manager log here:

- Restarting task manager doesn't help
 - Restarting cluster doesn't help
 
Please guide me if anything is missing.
Solution 1:[1]
Looking into the logs:
Connection refused: /10.10.97.210:46477
Was port 46477 was opened/excluded from firewall?
Just check if you have set the following in flink config:
jobmanager.rpc.port: 6123 
blob.server.port: 50100-50200 
And then unblock these ports.
