ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-1525: --------------------------------------- Github user rmetzger commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/664#issuecomment-100891653 Thank you. I didn't reuse the parser there because there is an ongoing JIRA to unify all the command line parsers inside Flink. It seems that we are using at least two different libraries .. and the consensus in the JIRA seems to be using a third one to solve the problem. But I didn't want to add more confusion to the topic than we already have. > 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)
