ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-1389: --------------------------------------- Github user rmetzger commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/301#issuecomment-71439040 You are right, I should have made the requirements clear in the beginning. I actually had a discussion with the user which approach is the best. I took the view that a string based method is easier for now and implemented it. Then, we had the whole discussion here and I thought, now, that everybody is unhappy with my approach, I better do exactly what the user wants, instead of going with a strong opinion. And now I'm confused and upset. But to be realistic: We only had one user so who wanted to change the filenames at all. If there is ever going to be a second or third user, they either have to do another contribution or overwrite their input format. http://bikeshed.com/ (see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_law_of_triviality) > Allow setting custom file extensions for files created by the FileOutputFormat > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-1389 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1389 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Robert Metzger > Assignee: Robert Metzger > Priority: Minor > > A user requested the ability to name avro files with the "avro" extension. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
