------------------------------------
Summary: Rename Table conversion methods in TableEnvironment
Key: FLINK-2165
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2165
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Table API
Affects Versions: 0.9
Reporter: Fabian Hueske
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.9
The {{TableEnvironment}} provides methods to convert DataSets and DataStreams
into Tables and back. These methods are called {{toTable()}}, {{toSet()}}, and
{{toStream()}}.
I propose to rename the methods into {{fromDataSet()}}, {{fromDataStream()}},
{{toDataSet()}}, and {{toDataStream()}} for the following reasons:
- {{fromDataSet()}}, {{fromDataStream()}} is closer to the SQL FROM expression
- It allows to add methods such as {{fromCSV()}}, {{fromHCat()}},
{{fromParquet()}}, and so on to the {{TableEnvironment}}
- {{toSet()}} and {{toStream()}} should be renamed for consistency.
