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

             Summary: StreamExecutionEnvironment#continuousSource() method should be renamed to source()
                 Key: FLINK-18428
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18428
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: API / DataStream
            Reporter: Jiangjie Qin


The current code in master did not follow the [latest FLIP-27 discussion|[https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r54287e9c9880916560bb97c38962db7b4d326056a7b23a9d0416e6a7%40%3Cdev.flink.apache.org%3E]], where we should have a \{{StreamExecutionEnvironment#source()}} instead of  \{{StreamExecutionEnvironment#continuousSource()}}. The concern was that the latter would mislead the users to think that the execution is always in streaming mode while it actually depends on the boundedness of the source.
