Maximilian Michels commented on FLINK-2070: ------------------------------------------- +1 for {{printOnTaskManager()}} I can see printing on the task manager {{out}} being useful for debugging purposes. I'm not sure if the method should be in {{DataSet}} but rather in some Util package with an explanation in the documentation. > Confusing methods print() that print on client vs on TaskManager > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-2070 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2070 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Reporter: Stephan Ewen > Fix For: 0.9 > > > With the {{print()}} method printing on the client, the > {{print(sourceIentified)}} method becomes confusing, as it has the same name, > but prints on the taskManager (into its "out" files) and executes lazily. > We should clarify the confusion by picking a more descriptive name, like > {{printOnTaskManager()}}. > I am not sure how common the use case to print into the TaskManager {{out}} > files is. We could remove that method and point to the > {{PrintingOutputFormat}} for that. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
