Github user tillrohrmann commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5786 The section `flip6` is effectively the standalone mode @zorro786. I'll update the documentation accordingly. The reason why the job manager option is now shown under the different `CustomCommandLines` is that it effectively is an option relevant for the interaction with a remote cluster and, thus, an implementation of the `CustomCommandLine`. Theoretically, different Flink clusters, e.g. Yarn and Mesos, might implement different means to identify a Flink cluster. For example, the Yarn application id or an URL.
