It seems we are go for the `with(...)` approach.
Pending decision is whether we want `with` to be the long-run solution, or
stay with `apply`.
The reason why `DataStream` has `apply()` and `DataSet` has `with()` is
that different people wrote the API functions and everyone has their favorite
name and style that they stick to ;-)
I agree that consistency should be key in the future. The `DataStream` API
has more traction right now, and should long-term subsume the DataSet API, so I
have a slight bias to keep the DataStream style for now (many people will not
even use the `with(...)` variant because they don't set individual parallelism).
