ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-3677: --------------------------------------- Github user zentol commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2109 yes i think so. I have 2 more issues with this PR. For one the documentation isn't in the correct place i believe. The config.md file specifies configuration parameters for Flink as a system. These parameters are set in the flink-conf.yaml, and are not passed to the InputFormats configure() method. I believe the keys belong into the DataSource section of the Batch Guide, as users have to set the keys using the DataSource#withParameters() method. Which brings me to the second issue: The configure() method is a somewhat antiquated way for users to configure IO-Formats. We now usually use additional arguments in the readTextFile() methods, or additional configuration methods like in readCsvFile(). That said, we can't modify the methods as the ExEnv is @Public, and we can't add another 3-4 variants of readTextFile. We also can't change the return type of readTextFile from DataSource to a more useful TextReader, again because it's @Public. I'm myself not sure whether it really is an issue, and if so how to resolve it Thus I would like others to weigh in on this one before proceeding further. > FileInputFormat: Allow to specify include/exclude file name patterns > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-3677 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3677 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Maximilian Michels > Assignee: Ivan Mushketyk > Priority: Minor > Labels: starter > > It would be nice to be able to specify a regular expression to filter files. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
