-1 personally, at least until the use case is explained. The linked issue does not give any reason why this would be a good API change.

@domenic consistency it's a bit of a footgun that the callback takes the second argument one place and not another, I'm frankly surprised I haven't run into it myself, does need a test though

@piranna take a look at the tests marked stream in this folder which would be where a test for this would go.

As @calvinmetcalf says, consistency is the main reason. Yesterday I was doing a Transform and found that _transform() accept to give an optional chunk but _flush() don't, requiring to use push() if you need to send one last data chunk.

I'm currently connected on my cell phone, I'll do the tests tomorrow when I get home.

Ah, ignore my previous comment, I see it now.
Still, I don't see why would flush method need to pass data. Do you have a use-case?

Still, I don't see why would flush method need to pass data.

As said before, consistency. This transform do nothing for each chunk, but the docs says you can pass data for it on this callback inside _transform(), so someone would think intuitively that it's also possible on this callback inside _flush() but the fact is that's currently not possible. Why I need to call to push() on _flush() but not on _transform()? Don't make sense...

Hmm.. technically there's nothing wrong with the change and I'm not going to give it a -1, but I'm in agreement that consistency in this case does not seem to be a strong enough argument. As far as I can tell, the reason _flush does not take a data parameter is because there's no actual use case justifying passing or using that data. It likely doesn't hurt to have it there, but would anyone actually use it?

Well, I was going to because intuitively it should work, until I get to the fact that it was not implemented... :-/

(sorry for not adding the tests yet, I'm really busy lately, but didn't forgot about this)

OK that's fair :) out of curiosity, are you able to share the details of
the use case?

Yes, as you can see these two lines would be implemented as only one. Not too much an issue, but you would expect that's possible to do...

Ok. I don't have time to do a technical review at the moment, but could I ask that you please take a moment to expand on the reasons for the change in the commit log message itself? It would be helpful. Thank you!

Hi @jasnell, I'm still interested on this, only that I got attention on other issues. I'll try to do the pull-request this afternoon.

I've just added the missing test and also added a reference to the new data argument on the docs.

Adding for API consistency sounds good. Besides the comment I'd also like the commits squashed and a description of the issue in the commit message body. Then add the metadata:

Fixes: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3707

at the bottom of the message body.

Those things addressed, LGTM

As you see it fits, I did that change to update the API docs, no more.
