Description

At the moment there is no other way than the environment variable FLINK_CONF_DIR to specify the configuration directory for the CliFrontend if it is started via the flink shell script. In order to improve the user exprience, I would propose to introduce a --configDir parameter which the user can use to specify a configuration directory more easily.
