Summary: Added ResultTypeQueryable interface to TypeSerializerInputFormat. Key: FLINK-1464 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1464 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Distributed Runtime, Optimizer Affects Versions: 0.8, 0.9, 0.8.1 Reporter: Alexander Alexandrov Assignee: Alexander Alexandrov Priority: Minor Fix For: 0.9, 0.8.1 It is currently impossible to use the {{TypeSerializerInputFormat}} with generic Tuple types. For example, [this example gist|https://gist.github.com/aalexandrov/90bf21f66bf604676f37] fails with a {quote} Exception in thread "main" org.apache.flink.api.common.InvalidProgramException: The type returned by the input format could not be automatically determined. Please specify the TypeInformation of the produced type explicitly. at org.apache.flink.api.java.ExecutionEnvironment.readFile(ExecutionEnvironment.java:341) at SerializedFormatExample$.main(SerializedFormatExample.scala:48) at SerializedFormatExample.main(SerializedFormatExample.scala) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:606) at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:134) {quote} exaception. To fix the issue, I changed the constructor to take a {{TypeInformation<T>}} instad of a {{TypeSerializer<T>}} argument. If this is indeed a bug, I think that this is a good solution. Unfortunately the fix breaks the API. Feel free to change it if you find a more elegant solution compatible with the 0.8 branch. The suggested fix can be found in the GitHub [PR#349|https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/349]. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
