Maximilian Michels commented on FLINK-2070:
-------------------------------------------
+1 for {{printOnTaskManager()}}
I can see printing on the task manager {{out}} being useful for debugging
purposes. I'm not sure if the method should be in {{DataSet}} but rather in
some Util package with an explanation in the documentation.
> Confusing methods print() that print on client vs on TaskManager
> ----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-2070
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2070
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Fix For: 0.9
>
>
> With the {{print()}} method printing on the client, the
> {{print(sourceIentified)}} method becomes confusing, as it has the same name,
> but prints on the taskManager (into its "out" files) and executes lazily.
> We should clarify the confusion by picking a more descriptive name, like
> {{printOnTaskManager()}}.
> I am not sure how common the use case to print into the TaskManager {{out}}
> files is. We could remove that method and point to the
> {{PrintingOutputFormat}} for that.
