Github user ifndef-SleePy commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5048 Hi Till, thank you for reviewing. I agree that it is much simpler to use `scheduleRunAsync`. [PR-5091](https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5091) is not a small reworking. But it looks really great to me. Will rebase it and address comments in a few days.
