Github user fhueske commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/685#issuecomment-103251931 I find the parsing of the current implementation more intuitive (1, "true" -> TRUE / 0, "false" -> FALSE). The numeric parsers don't follow the default Java behavior either because they swallow leading and tailing whitespaces.
