Hey, I didn't look through the whole code so I probably don't get something but why don't you just do what storm does? Keep a map from the field names to indexes somewhere (make this accessible from the tuple) and then you can just use a simple Flink tuple.
I think this is what's happening in storm, they get the index from the context, which knows the declared output fields. Gyula Matthias J.
