--------------------------------------
Has this issue been resolved with the reworked DataStream API?
> Make Flink Streaming's FileSourceFunction type generic

> We experimented with reading files with Flink Streaming from non-local file
> systems that are supported by the Flink api (e.g. HDFS). Our
> FileSourceFunction works only with String types. It would be important to
> parametrize that class in order to be able to read data from a file into a
> specified type. When we tried to do so, we got a type erasure problem.
