Github user lauritzthamsen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/605#issuecomment-127614364 I would also like to see this merged. I'm planning to use it and afaik some other users too. I think having it in flink-contrib would be nice because a. it's more visible than in a user's fork/repository, b. everybody can contribute back improvements here (via PRs and some more eyes of the Flink community) and c. it'll at least receive the automatic changes from tool-based modifications in Flink's core.
