Robert Metzger created FLINK-4147: ------------------------------------- Summary: Consider moving the file sources from the StreamExecutionEnvironment to the flink-connector-filesystem Key: FLINK-4147 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4147 Project: Flink Issue Type: Sub-task Components: DataStream API Reporter: Robert Metzger Fix For: 2.0.0
The StreamExecutionEnvironment has many convenience methods for reading static files. However, it seems that this makes it hard to maintain Flink's APIs and that not so many users are using the file sources. The filesystem connector is the logical location for persistent file reading. I suggest to move those sources there. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
