Stopping Flink applications

You must stop your Flink applications before updating the artifacts. You can use the stop command to create a savepoint of your application. You can also use the cancel command to stop your Flink application without creating a savepoint.

You can use savepoints to resume the application state after the upgrade.

Determine the related Flink job IDs.
```
flink list
```
Stop your Flink applications.
You have two choices:
- Stop your applications with a savepoint to store the application state.
```
flink stop <Flink job ID>
```
  The command returns an HDFS path, which is the automatically created savepoint that stores the application state.
- Cancel your applications without creating a savepoint.
```
flink cancel <Flink job ID>
```
  Use this method if you do not need to restore the application state after the upgrade.
