ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-1730: --------------------------------------- Github user fhueske commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1083#issuecomment-138825832 Hi @sachingoel0101, I think there was no consensus in the discussion (FLINK-1730) for how to implement this feature. @StephanEwen pointed that persisting data sets should happen on the network stack level, i.e., not on the operator level. In fact, this feature was considered and while redesigning and implementing the network stack by @uce. By doing it on the network stack level, persisted data sets can also be used for failure recovery or used across different jobs within a session. This PR is basically ignoring the previous discussion and features of the network stack. If you think that persisting on an operator level has advantages over the network stack, it would be good to share your thoughts with the community. Unless there are good reasons to do persisting on operator level, I would not merge this PR. > Add a FlinkTools.persist style method to the Data Set. > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-1730 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1730 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Stephan Ewen > Priority: Minor > > I think this is an operation that will be needed more prominently.
