They should actually return different values in many cases. Datastream.env.getDegreeOfParallelism returns the environment parallelism (default)
Datastream.getparallelism() returns the parallelism of the operator. There is a reason when one or the other is used. Please watch out when you try to modify that because you might actually break functionality there :p On Feb 27, 2015 8:55 AM, "Szabó Péter" <nemderogator...@gmail.com> wrote: > As I know, the time of creation of the execution environment has been > slightly modified in the streaming API, which caused that > dataStream.getParallelism() and dataStream.env.getDegreeOfParallelism() may > return different values.
