ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-6710: --------------------------------------- Github user zentol commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3984 Then let's replace it with a generic JsonInputFormat that supports even more use-cases without 1900 lines of bloat. > Remove twitter-inputformat > -------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-6710 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6710 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Batch Connectors and Input/Output Formats > Reporter: Chesnay Schepler > Assignee: Chesnay Schepler > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.4.0 > > > I propose removing the twitter-inputformat under flink-contrib. > It provides no interesting properties in terms of accessing tweets (since it > just reads them from a file) in contrast to the streaming {{TwitterSource}}, > nor provides any significant functionality that cannot be achieved using the > jackson databind API. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
