> Calling ctx.collect with a null OutputTag should log a warning or throw an

> Key: FLINK-6550
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6550
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DataStream API
> Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
> Priority: Minor
>
> When using side outputs it is currently possible to call
> {Context#collect(OutputTag<X>, X record)} with null for the OutputTag.
> Effectively this causes the data to be swallowed. It is unlikely that a user
> actually intends this, so i propose to either log a warning or throw an
> exception.
