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

             Summary: Consider moving the file sources from the StreamExecutionEnvironment to the flink-connector-filesystem
                 Key: FLINK-4147
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4147
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: DataStream API
            Reporter: Robert Metzger
             Fix For: 2.0.0


The StreamExecutionEnvironment has many convenience methods for reading static files.
However, it seems that this makes it hard to maintain Flink's APIs and that not so many users are using the file sources.

The filesystem connector is the logical location for persistent file reading. I suggest to move those sources there.
