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.
