Thanks for the explanation, Stephan. I always wonder why the extra common APIs exist.
Then I think this should be high priority if we want to remove the common API to reduce the unnecessary layer and "dead code". As Ufuk mentioned before, better doing it now before more stuff build on top of Flink. So removing old Record API [1] and the tests depending on them is step one of the process, but what is JSON API? - Henry [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1681 On Tue, Apr 21, 2015 at 1:10 AM, Stephan Ewen <se...@apache.org> wrote: > Originally, we had multiple Apis with different data models: the current > Java API, the record api, a JSON API.
