Github user aljoscha commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/202#issuecomment-77127742 Thanks, I have two last requests, sorry for that. Could you rename flink-generic to flink-language-binding-generic? The problem is, that the package name is now flink-generic, it pops up like this in maven central and so on without the information that it is actually a sub package of flink-language-binding. This could be quite confusing. In MapFunctin.py and FilterFunction.py you use map() and filter() respectively. These operations are not lazy, i.e. in map() it does first apply the user map-function to every element in the partition and then it collects the results. This can become a problem if the input is very big. Instead we should iterate over the iterator and output each element after mapping. This keeps memory consumption low. Same applies to filter().
