Keeping the reference to PACT compiler and Nephele names?

[Henry Saputra]

Hi Guys,

There are some references to PACT (compiler) and Nephele, mostly in
comments and variable names, which is the used in the original
Stratosphere impl.

Do we want to keep the names or make it to generic terms like Flink
modek and backend engine?

The reason I asked is that it could confuse new contributors that
coming directly to Flink witour knowing background history of
Stratosphere.

Thanks,

Henry

I think the goal is to ultimately get rid of the names PACT and Nephele and replace them by Flink. We already renamed (I hope all) user facing parts of the system accordingly, but chose to do it in a lazy fashion for the internals to avoid conflicts.

I agree.

Yes, the goal is to get rid of the Pact and Nephele references, as they do
not reflect the current state in most cases.
