Github user mxm commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/796#issuecomment-110002485 It can be a backwards-compatibility problem if users used some custom comment character. Probably negligible. Concerning the second if statement: Apparently, there was some feature along the lines of "domain/hostname". This is not documented at all and can be removed. We can create a separate JIRA for that.
