Fabian Hueske created FLINK-3186: ------------------------------------ Summary: Deprecate DataSink.sortLocalOutput() methods Key: FLINK-3186 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3186 Project: Flink Issue Type: Task Components: DataSet API Affects Versions: 1.0.0 Reporter: Fabian Hueske Fix For: 1.0.0
The DataSet API {{DataSink}} offers a method {{sortLocalOutput()}} to sort the output before it is handed to the {{OutputFormat}}. I propose to deprecate (and eventually remove) this method, because the same functionality can be achieved by using {{DataSet.sortPartition()}}. {{sortPartition()}} is more generic and has no drawbacks compared to {{sortLocalOutput()}}. Removing {{sortLocalOutput()}} would clean up the API and remove unnecessary code paths. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
