Github user smarthi commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1311#issuecomment-161066615 @rmetzger This fell off my radar briefly as other things took priority. Let me know what you think about adding this to DataSet API, this follows from a similar change that was put in for reading HAdoopFiles from ExecutionEnvironment. Ofcourse, there are work arounds without having to mess with the DataSet APIs, so if you feel that this change is not acceptable to the community, I can withdraw this PR.
