Thank you for the feedback so far!

> 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

> 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.
