Nicholas Jiang commented on FLINK-19494:
----------------------------------------
[~sewen], I agree with your point that add a new fromSequence() method that
uses the NumberSequenceSource, which method is against the new Source API. This
behaviour is similar with the fromSource interface again the new Source API,
right? And IMO, generateSequence should not be deprecated temporarily, because
this could be deprecated together with addSource method, which based on the
legacy source API.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19494
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API / DataStream
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.12.0
>
>
> The utility method {{StreamExecutionEnvironment.generateSequence(()}} should
> instantiate the new {{NumberSequenceSource}} rather than the existing
> {{StatefulSequenceSource}}.
> We should also deprecate the {{StatefulSequenceSource}} as part of this
> change, because
> - it is based on the legacy source API
> - it is not scalable, because it materializes the sequence
