Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3741 Thanks for contributing this, the added functionality looks good. I would prefer to add this change without changing the dependencies and test base classes. You could for example change the test to throw an exception in the "validator function" if the word is not in the cache file. That way you do not need to "collect back" the data. Minor comment: Generating the input from a collection rather than a file makes the tests usually a bit more lightweight. In all newer tests, we try to do that.
