--------------------------------------

             Summary: Adding a collection output format
                 Key: FLINK-1038
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1038
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sebastian Kruse
            Priority: Minor


Similar to the existing LocalCollectionOutputFormat or Spark's collect() method, it would be nice to have a CollectionOutputFormat that also works when running jobs on a cluster. This output format gathers all results of a sink from all TaskManagers in the JVM that submitted the job plan and provides these as a collection, similar to accumulators. After all, this can help to avoid the tedious task of going to HDFS and read and parse the single result files.

PS. We have already created such an output format and can contribute it.
