Github user StephanEwen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/605#issuecomment-127552585 It is a nice addition, I agree. The question for all code that we add is who can maintain it. Code never gets just added and then simply works and can stay. Any code that is added needs to be maintained by someone, be that a committer, or by a commitment from the contributor. If we can find a maintainer, than I am find with adding this.
