Github user tillrohrmann commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2153 I think these tests are far too specific for the quickstarts. Why starting your own Flink cluster when the local execution environment would do the same? People using the quickstarts should not have immediately a problem with long test run times so it shouldn't hurt them if a cluster is started for each test case. I think it would be better to properly document these testing techniques somewhere since they are only relevant for advanced users. We might include them in the online documentation or in the planned Flink streaming cook book.
