Heya,

Is there a plan to consolidate these two interfaces? They appear to provide identical functionality, differing only in lifecycle management. I found myself writing an adaptor so I can consume an OutputFormat where a SinkFunction is expected; there's not much to it. This seems like code that Flink should ship.

Maybe one interface or the other can be deprecated for 1.0 API?

Thanks,

Nick
