By the way, it might not look like it but the only additional methods this
introduces on `StreamExecutionEnvironment` are are these three:
```
public <OUT> DataStreamSource<OUT> readFile(FileInputFormat<OUT>
inputFormat,
String filePath,
WatchType watchType,
long interval)
public <OUT> DataStreamSource<OUT> readFile(FileInputFormat<OUT>
inputFormat,
String filePath,
WatchType watchType,
long interval,
FilePathFilter filter)
public <OUT> DataStreamSource<OUT> readFile(FileInputFormat<OUT>
inputFormat,
String filePath,
WatchType watchType,
long interval,
FilePathFilter filter,
TypeInformation<OUT> typeInformation)
```
The rest are unfortunately public methods and we can't remove them, even
though some should probably be removed.--- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well. If your project does not have this feature enabled and wishes so, or if the feature is enabled but not working, please contact infrastructure at infrastruct...@apache.org or file a JIRA ticket with INFRA. ---
