Summary: Add collect() operation on DataStream Key: FLINK-19508 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19508 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: API / DataStream Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek With the recent changes/additions to {{DataStreamUtils.collect()}} that make it more robust by using the regular REST client to fetch results from operators it might make sense to add a {{collect()}} operation right on {{DataStream}}. This operation is still not meant for big data volumes but I think it can be useful for debugging and fetching small amounts of messages to the client. When we do this, we can also think about changing {{print()}} to print on the client instead of to the {{TaskManager}} stdout. I think the current behaviour of this operation is mostly confusing for users. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
