Okay, I agree. Let's not create mapper.
+1 that function name should include "file" somewhere. How about
`readFileOfPrimitives(String path)`.
Pleaase check the headers, they are not apache compliant.
> Add an input format to read primitive types directly (not through tuples)

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: Mingliang Qi
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: easyfix, features, starter
>
> Right now, reading primitive types goes either through custom formats (work
> intensive), or through CSV inputs. The latter return tuples.
> To read a sequence of primitives, you need to go though Tuple1, which is
> clumsy.
> I would suggest to add an input format to read primitive types line wise (or
> otherwise delimited), and also add a method to the environment for that.
