Github user mxm commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1375#issuecomment-157736688 From what I've seen so far, users are very puzzled about execute() after collect(). This was even more of a problem because we once had this in our quickstart examples. Initially, I was convinced ignoring `execute()` after `collect()` would be a good solution. On second thought, it creates new problems like users wondering why their program doesn't do anything.. So +1 for closing the issue.
