Jamie Grier commented on FLINK-5026:
------------------------------------
Another option here would be apply(), rather than process(). Whatever the name
it should imply that this is sort of the basic building block in Flink.
> Rename TimelyFlatMap to Process

> Key: FLINK-5026
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5026
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Streaming
> Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
> Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek
> Fix For: 1.2.0
>
>
> The method on {{KeyedDataStream}} would be called {{process()}} and the
> function itself would be called {{ProcessFunction}}.
> The reason for this is that {{TimelyFlatMapFunction}} is a bit of a mouthful
> and with the additions to the timer API and state the {{ProcessFunction}}
> could become the basic, low-level, user-facing API for cases where users
> nowadays implement their own operator.
