Github user mxm commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/975#issuecomment-128664224 Fabian is right: This is a major change in the computation paradigm of Flink which can cause all kinds of side effects when executing user-defined functions on the task manager. If we really implemented something like this we have to think about it carefully before.
