>                 Key: GEARPUMP-24
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEARPUMP-24
>             Project: Apache Gearpump
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: streaming
>    Affects Versions: 0.8.0
>            Reporter: Manu Zhang
>            Assignee: Manu Zhang
>             Fix For: 0.8.1

> From [https://github.com/gearpump/gearpump/issues/2013]:
> The current DataSource API
> {code}
> trait DataSource extends java.io.Serializable {
>   /**
>    * open connection to data source
>    * invoked in onStart() method of 
> [[io.gearpump.streaming.source.DataSourceTask]]
>    * @param context is the task context at runtime
>    * @param startTime is the start time of system
>    */
>   def open(context: TaskContext, startTime: Option[TimeStamp]): Unit
>   /**
>    * read a number of messages from data source.
>    * invoked in each onNext() method of 
> [[io.gearpump.streaming.source.DataSourceTask]]
>    * @param batchSize max number of messages to read
>    * @return a list of messages wrapped in [[io.gearpump.Message]]
>    */
>   def read(batchSize: Int): List[Message]
>   /**
>    * close connection to data source.
>    * invoked in onStop() method of 
> [[io.gearpump.streaming.source.DataSourceTask]]
>    */
>   def close(): Unit
> }
> {code}
> has several issues
> 1. read returns a scala list of Message which is unfriendly to Java 
> DataSources. Same for Option parameter in open
> 2. the number of read messages may not be the same as the passed in batchSize 
> which leaves uncertainty to users (users may access out of boundary list 
> positions)
> 3. to return a list an extra buffer could be needed in read (e.g. 
> KafkaSource) which is not best for performance
> Update:
> I'd like to add a "getWatermark" interface that helps to fix GEARPUMP-32
