Hi Behrouz, Thanks for starting the discussion. If I understand your question correctly, you are asking if it breaks the training or other external material if we convert the Flink examples to make use of the ParameterTool?
We could make the changes such that the examples will accept the same parameters but use the ParameterTool internally to verify the parameters and print usage information. I think most examples simply use positional arguments and we could keep it that way. The only problem is that the ParameterTool doesn't seem to support positional arguments :) but we could fix that.
