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

             Summary: Create CollectionDataSets by reading (client) local files.
                 Key: FLINK-992
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-992
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Java API, Python API, Scala API
            Reporter: Fabian Hueske
            Priority: Minor


{{CollectionDataSets}} are a nice way to feed data into programs.
We could add support to read a client-local file at program construction time using a FileInputFormat, put its data into a CollectionDataSet, and ship its data together with the program.

This would remove the need to upload small files into DFS which are used together with some large input (stored in DFS).
