ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-1525: --------------------------------------- Github user rmetzger commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/664#issuecomment-101201653 I thought its much nicer for users to provide a typed POJO (implementing `UserConfig`) instead of a String map. This approach leaves at least the door open for a typed configuration object. If you want, I'll also let the `Configuration` class implement the UserConfig interface, so that users can used untyped key/value configuration there as well. > 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)
