Similar to how other tools print the "usage" when you don't give correct arguments. > 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)
