Fabian Hueske created FLINK-3254: ------------------------------------ Summary: CombineFunction interface not respected Key: FLINK-3254 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3254 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: DataSet API Affects Versions: 0.10.1, 1.0.0 Reporter: Fabian Hueske Priority: Blocker Fix For: 1.0.0
The DataSet API offers a {{CombineFunction}} interface, which differs from the {{GroupCombineFunction}} interface by being restricted to return a single value instead of returning arbitrary many values through a {{Collector}}. The JavaDocs of the {{GroupCombineFunction}} point to the {{CombineFunction}} interface, advertising it as more efficient. However, the {{CombineFunction}} interface is nor respected by Flink, i.e., a {{GroupReduceFunction}} that implements this interface is executed without leveraging the combine method. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
