ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-1589: --------------------------------------- Github user tillrohrmann commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/427#issuecomment-75271706 I think we should rework the test case to check that the configuration is properly passed to the system. Right now the exception is thrown in ```ds.writeAsText(null)``` because we pass ```null```. I'd propose something like @StephanEwen did in the PR #410. We set the number of slots in the configuration and the job to ```PARALLELISM_AUTO_MAX```. With the special input format which produces only a single element per split, we can count the number of parallel tasks, given that every task receives only one input split. > Add option to pass Configuration to LocalExecutor > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-1589 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1589 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Robert Metzger > Assignee: Robert Metzger > > Right now its not possible for users to pass custom configuration values to > Flink when running it from within an IDE. > It would be very convenient to be able to create a local execution > environment that allows passing configuration files. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
