Till Rohrmann commented on FLINK-655:
-------------------------------------
I think the getBroadcastVariable returns a List of the DataSet's elements you
have broadcasted. Thus, the return type should at least stay of Collection
type.
> Rename DataSet.withBroadcastSet(DataSet, String) method

> Key: FLINK-655
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-655
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java API
> Reporter: Ufuk Celebi
> Assignee: Henry Saputra
> Labels: breaking-api, github-import, starter
> Fix For: pre-apache
>
>
> To broadcast a data set you have to do the following:
> ```java
> lorem.map(new MyMapper()).withBroadcastSet(toBroadcast, "toBroadcastName")
> ```
> In the operator you call:
> ```java
> getRuntimeContext().getBroadcastVariable("toBroadcastName")
> ```
> I propose to have both method names consistent, e.g.
> - `withBroadcastVariable(DataSet, String)`, or
> - `getBroadcastSet(String)`.
