Alexander Shoshin commented on FLINK-3133:
------------------------------------------

[~mxm], could you give more details about this issue please? It is not clear 
for me.
First about print(). I can see that {{DataStream}} has already have such 
method. And we can apply it to input stream samples by defining {{Windows}}. 
Isn't it what are you talking about?
Second is about count(). Could it be a transformation function that returns a 
{{DataStream}} that can be printed or saved to a file then?
And I can't imagine cases for the code fragment above (do you meant a collect() 
method instead of a print()?). Is it for retrieving only one sample to the 
driver from the whole stream? Not for making samples every 5 seconds?
Thank you.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: DataStream API, Streaming
>    Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 1.0.0, 0.10.1

> The DataSet API's methods {{collect()}}, {{count()}}, and {{print()}} should 
> be mirrored to the DataStream API. 
> The semantics of the calls are different. We need to be able to sample parts 
> of a stream, e.g. by supplying a time period in the arguments to the methods. 
> Collect/count/print should be lazily evaluated. Users should use the 
> {{StreamEnvironment}} to retrieve the results.
> {code:java}
> StreamExecutionEnvironment env = 
> StramEnvironment.getStreamExecutionEnvironment();
> DataStream<Integer> printSink = env.addSource(..).print();
> ResultQueryable queryObject = env.executeWithResultQueryable();
> List<Integer> sampled = queryObject.retrieve(printSink, Time.seconds(5));
> {code}
