I would create a JIRA ticket before adding another example. As you can see in the "contributions guide": http://flink.apache.org/how-to-contribute.html#propose-an-improvement-or-a-new-feature its actually required ;)
I came across another issue which is relatively easy to do, yet very important for the performance of streaming jobs: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2609 Another task, which is a much bigger project would be integrating Flink with Hadoop's Timeline server: https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.4.1/hadoop-yarn/hadoop-yarn-site/TimelineServer.html Users are sometimes complaining that the information from the web interface is gone when the job is over. With that, we could persist that information. On Wed, Jan 20, 2016 at 5:29 PM, Stefano Baghino < stefano.bagh...@radicalbit.io> wrote: > Hi Aljoscha, > > thank you for your tip as well.
