             Summary: Change/remove mentions of "mode" in Source and Sink documentation
                 Key: FLINK-26656
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-26656
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Connectors / FileSystem, Documentation
            Reporter: Martijn Visser
            Assignee: Martijn Visser


The FileSource documentation contains sentences like:

{code:java}
 * <p>When you start creating a file source (via the {@link FileSource.FileSourceBuilder} created
 * through one of the above-mentioned methods) the source is by default in bounded/batch mode. Call
 * {@link FileSource.FileSourceBuilder#monitorContinuously(Duration)} to put the source into
 * continuous streaming mode.
{code}

The word "mode" causes confusion when compared to batch and streaming execution mode. Sources and sinks should not care about runtime modes, they can be configured to deal with either bounded or unbounded data. This should be cleaned-up/rewritten.
