Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-2313:
-------------------------------------
Since this is API breaking, let's get at least the minimal change into the next
release. Minimal would be to return the object with the {{wairFor()}} method.
I also created a doc to collect breaking changes to the streaming API:

> Change Streaming Driver Execution Model

> Key: FLINK-2313
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2313
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Streaming
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
>
> I would propose the following change to the Streaming Execution Environment:
> When calling {{env.execute()}}, it does not block, but return an
> {{ExecutionContext}} object. This execution context has various methods, that
> allow you to control the execution:
> - waitFor() -> Blocks until the job terminates, or the connection to the
> JobManager is lost.
> - stop() -> initiates a clean stop
> - cancel() -> cancels the program
> - setParallelism() -> Later: adjusts the parallelism of the program
> If this is voted as desirable, I would make a design how to do this...
