-------------------------------------

             Summary: Improve error messages when using CLI with wrong target
                 Key: FLINK-20154
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20154
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Command Line Client, Documentation
            Reporter: Till Rohrmann


According to the [CLI documentation|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/ops/cli.html#job-submission-examples] one can use the CLI with the following {{--target}} values: "remote", "local", "kubernetes-session", "yarn-per-job", "yarn-session", "yarn-application" and "kubernetes-application". However, when running the following commands:

{{bin/flink run -t yarn-session -p 1 examples/streaming/WindowJoin.jar}} I get the following exception:

{code}

Similarly when running the command {{bin/flink run -t yarn-application -p 1 examples/streaming/WindowJoin.jar}} I get the exception:

Obviously, the CLI is not intended to be started with these targets. I would suggest to improve the documentation stating which targets are valid and to improve the error messages when starting the CLI with a not supported target.
