Fabian Hueske created FLINK-1444: ------------------------------------ Summary: Add data properties for data sources Key: FLINK-1444 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1444 Project: Flink Issue Type: New Feature Components: Java API, JobManager, Optimizer Affects Versions: 0.9 Reporter: Fabian Hueske Priority: Minor
This issue proposes to add support for attaching data properties to data sources. These data properties are defined with respect to input splits. Possible properties are: - partitioning across splits: all elements of the same key (combination) are contained in one split - sorting / grouping with splits: elements are sorted or grouped on certain keys within a split - key uniqueness: a certain key (combination) is unique for all elements of the data source. This property is not defined wrt. input splits. The optimizer can leverage this information to generate more efficient execution plans. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
