I remember a discussion from a while back that we actually wanted to drop
`ProgramDescription`.
It comes from the days when programs had to implement specific interface
and it does not really go together very well with the idea of a simple static
main-method as the entry point.
> Examples shouldn't always print usage statement

> Key: FLINK-3560
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3560
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Examples
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Assignee: Till Rohrmann
> Priority: Minor
>
> At the moment all our examples print a usage statement no matter whether the
> parameters have been provided or not. This can be confusing for people
> because an usage statement is usually only printed if one has specified a
> wrong parameter or if a parameter is missing.
> I propose to remove the unchecked printing of the usage statement.
