Nikolaas Steenbergen commented on FLINK-2613: --------------------------------------------- There is a {{--help}} option: {code} Flink Scala Shell Usage: start-scala-shell.sh [options] -p <value> | --port <value> port specifies port of running JobManager -h <value> | --host <value> host specifies host name of running JobManager --help prints this usage text {code} I could add something like: {code} The Scala-Shell starts a local mini cluster by default, to connect to a remote cluster please specify --port and --host {code} Admittedly it should also work with {{-h}}, which it does not right now. > Print usage information for Scala Shell > --------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-2613 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2613 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Scala Shell > Affects Versions: 0.10 > Reporter: Maximilian Michels > Priority: Minor > Labels: starter > Fix For: 0.10 > > > The Scala Shell startup script starts a {{FlinkMiniCluster}} by default if > invoked with no arguments. > We should add a {{--help}} or {{-h}} option to make it easier for people to > find out how to configure remote execution. Alternatively, we could print a > notice on the local startup explaining how to start the shell in remote mode. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
