Nikolaas Steenbergen commented on FLINK-2613: --------------------------------------------- so, I've rewritten the startup of the scala shell, now you start it with either : {code} $ ./bin/start-scala-shell.sh local{code} or {code} $ ./bin/start-scala-shell.sh remote <host> <port> {code} you can specify additional jar files with {{-a | -addclasspath}} you can get help with: {{-h | --help}} it will show following message: {code} Flink Scala Shell Usage: start-scala-shell.sh [local|remote] [options] <args>... -h | --help prints this usage text Command: local [options] starts Flink scala shell with a local Flink cluster -a <path/to/jar> | --addclasspath <path/to/jar> specifies additional jars to be used in Flink Command: remote [options] <host> <port> starts Flink scala shell connecting to a remote cluster <host> remote host name as string <port> remote port as integer -a <path/to/jar> | --addclasspath <path/to/jar> specifies additional jars to be used in Flink {code} when starting up correctly it says: {{Starting local Flink cluster (host: localhost, port 6123)}} {{Connecting to Flink cluster (host: xyz, port 6123)}} respectively. Any additional suggestions, or comments? > 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)
