Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5328 Thank you joining the Flink community and contributing. Considering this specific change: I would like to _not_ merge this change. There was nothing wrong with the original code - this is a cosmetic change that does not actually change anything significant. I personally would like to encourage not doing such changes, because a project can easily get into a situation where committers spend a significant amount of time formatting code and style back and forth rather than working on issues for noticeable improvements. I would encourage you to look at the "how to contribute" page, which describes how to find interesting issues for new contributions.
