Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2429 Things like this need to be discussed before we can make such a change. It was a conscious decision initially to have 100 characters line length. I personally do not mind 120 char lines, but back then, most people were pretty strong on the 100 chars limit. I would close this and start a [DISCUSS] thread on the dev mailing list. If you can convince people of this, then we can make the change.
