Description

We introduced (and immediately deprecated) the with(...) method in FLINK-4271. It is a temporary workaround for setting parallelism after co-group and join operator and not breaking binary compatibility. The with(...) method only differs in the return type and calls apply(...), casting the returned value.

So we need to remove the with(...) method in Flink 2.0. And change the apply method return type.
