You're effectively only explaining what this feature is, but not why it is
actually needed. We have to gauge whether this feature is useful for other
users as well before we decide to maintain it.
> Support read a file multiple times in Flink DataStream
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-9545
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9545
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DataStream API
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Bowen Li
> Assignee: Bowen Li
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
>
> Motivation: We have the requirements to read a bunch files, each file to read
> multiple times, to feed our streams
> Specifically we need {{StreamExecutionEnvironment.readFile/readTextFile}} to
> be able to read a file for a specified {{N}} times, but currently it only
> supports reading file once.
> We've implemented this internally. Would be good to get it back to the
> community version. This jira is to add support for the feature.
> Plan:
> add a new processing mode as PROCESSING_N_TIMES, and add additional parameter
> {{numTimes}} for {{StreamExecutionEnvironment.readFile/readTextFile}}
