Update: I filed FLINK-3883 to improve the names of the shell scripts for inclusion on the system path. Pending a discussion on that, I adjusted the formula PR to place only the `flink` command on the path (not the pyflink commands).
Reflecting a bit, I don’t think the various server scripts (flink-daemon.sh, start-cluster.sh, etc.) belong on the system path.
