Unexpected kwargs error

See original GitHub issue

It appears that https://github.com/dask/distributed/pull/3117 introduced a check for whether certain kwargs were used when initializing a Client.

Previously, this sort of pattern was allowed:

from distributed import Client

c = Client(processes=True, silence_logs=True)

with the expectation that these kwargs were passed down to the LocalCluster object which is created when a scheduler address is not provided. Now this raises:

ValueError: Unexpected keyword arguments: ['processes', 'silence_logs']

is this an unsupported use of the API with the release of 2.6.0?
or should Dask only be raising these kwarg errors whenever a scheduler_address is actually passed?

That works for me! I had forgotten that these clients were created with this utility which force-fed the kwargs when I originally opened the issue - I’ve already fixed it on my side 👍
