Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-5720:
-----------------------------------------
While we're on this, should we deprecate all aggregation operations on
`KeyedStream`? Right now, we have {{fold}} and {{reduce}} while the newer
{{aggregate}} is not even there.
> Deprecate "Folding" in all of DataStream API

> Key: FLINK-5720
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5720
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DataStream API
> Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
> Assignee: Chesnay Schepler
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.3.0
>
>
> Folding is an operation that cannot be done incrementally in a distributed
> way and that also cannot be done on merging windows. Now that we have
> {{AggregatingState}} and aggregate operations we should deprecate folding in
> the APIs and deprecate {{FoldingState}}.
> I suggest to remove folding completely in Flink 2.0
