Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-9193:
--------------------------------------
I can see how these methods can be useful for debugging. However, besides that
they don't offer much value, potentially cause problems, and bloat the API.
IMO, we should drop at least {{writeAsCsv()}} and {{writeUsingOutputFormat()}}.
Not sure how much debugging value {{writeToSocket()}} adds.
> Deprecate non-well-defined output methods on DataStream

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DataStream API

> Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.5.0

>
> Some output methods on {{DataStream}} that write text to files are not safe
> to use in a streaming program as they have no consistency guarantees. They
> are:
> - {{writeAsText()}}
> - {{writeAsCsv()}}
> - {{writeToSocket()}}
> - {{writeUsingOutputFormat()}}
> Along with those we should also deprecate the {{SinkFunctions}} that they use.
