["ASF GitHub Bot (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

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

Github user fhueske commented on the pull request:

    https://github.com/apache/incubator-flink/pull/47#issuecomment-62754333
  
    I rebased this PR and added some small fixes: https://github.com/fhueske/incubator-flink/tree/qmlmoonPrimitive
    Right now, the methods are called ``readFileOfPrimitives)`` as @StephanEwen suggested.
    
    If nobody objects, I will merge it in the next days.

> 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.
