-----------------------------------

             Summary: CsvOutputFormat defaults allowNullValues to false, even 
though doc and declaration says true
                 Key: FLINK-4506
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4506
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Batch Connectors and Input/Output Formats, Documentation
            Reporter: Michael Wong
            Priority: Minor


In the constructor, it has this

{code}
this.allowNullValues = false;
{code}

But in the setAllowNullValues() method, the doc says the allowNullValues is 
true by default. Also, in the declaration of allowNullValues, the value is set 
to true. It probably makes the most sense to change the constructor.

{code}
        /**
         * Configures the format to either allow null values (writing an empty 
field),
         * or to throw an exception when encountering a null field.
         * <p>
         * by default, null values are allowed.
         *
         * @param allowNulls Flag to indicate whether the output format should 
accept null values.
         */
        public void setAllowNullValues(boolean allowNulls) {
                this.allowNullValues = allowNulls;
        }
{code}
