Github user fhueske commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5897 Thanks, @StephanEwen. I will later merge this for `release-1.4` and `release-1.5`. Should we merge it for `master` as well and create a JIRA to drop the deprecated code? That would ensure we have the fix in 1.6 as well in case we don't drop the code for whatever reason.
