ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-1525: --------------------------------------- Github user rmetzger commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/664#issuecomment-100605507 Thank you for the feedback so far! @uce > In the word count example: is the only point of setting the user config in the execution config only to show the values in the web interface? Yes. But I think its worth it, because it'll teach our users how to use all features of the util. >If this tool also supported positional arguments ... I also though about adding those, but decided against it, because args[n] is already a way of accessing the arguments by their position ;) But I'll add it so that users can also specify default values .. and we take care of the parsing. > Provide utils to pass -D parameters to UDFs > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-1525 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1525 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: flink-contrib > Reporter: Robert Metzger > Labels: starter > > Hadoop users are used to setting job configuration through "-D" on the > command line. > Right now, Flink users have to manually parse command line arguments and pass > them to the methods. > It would be nice to provide a standard args parser with is taking care of > such stuff. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
