Description

SamzaContainer fetches the serialized JobModel from the URL specified in the SAMZA_COORDINATOR_URL environment variable. It would be useful if SamzaContainer optionally obtained the model from an environment variable if the SAMZA_COORDINATOR_URL variable was not set. This variable could be called SAMZA_JOB_CONFIG for instance.

This behavior would be useful in alternate SamzaJob implementations, such as those executing in standalone mode or on my own KubernetesJob implementation.
