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

             Summary: Add an input format to read primitive types directly (not through tuples)
                 Key: FLINK-933
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-933
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
            Priority: Minor


Right now, reading primitive types goes either through custom formats (work intensive), or through CSV inputs. The latter return tuples.

To read a sequence of primitives, you need to go though Tuple1, which is clumsy.

I would suggest to add an input format to read primitive types line wise (or otherwise delimited), and also add a method to the environment for that.
