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

             Summary: Rename TimelyFlatMap to Process
                 Key: FLINK-5026
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5026
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Streaming
            Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
            Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek
             Fix For: 1.2.0


The method on {{KeyedDataStream}} would be called {{process()}} and the function itself would be called {{ProcessFunction}}.

The reason for this is that {{TimelyFlatMapFunction}} is a bit of a mouthful and with the additions to the timer API and state the {{ProcessFunction}} could become the basic, low-level, user-facing API for cases where users nowadays implement their own operator.
