Michael Latta commented on FLINK-9195: -------------------------------------- Those sinks are for debugging of simple jobs. They are documented as such. I see no need to force new users to create similar sinks for early debugging and familiarization efforts. They were very useful in the initial stages of getting to know flink. > Delete non-well-defined output methods on DataStream > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-9195 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9195 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek > Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.6.0 > > > Some output methods on {{DataStream}} that write text to files are not safe > to use in a streaming program as they have no consistency guarantees. They > are: > - {{writeAsText()}} > - {{writeAsCsv()}} > - {{writeToSocket()}} > - {{writeUsingOutputFormat()}} > Along with those we should also delete the {{SinkFunctions}} that they use. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
