Hi Chesnay,
Heh, I have discovered that if I do not restart Flink after running my
original problematic script, then similar issues will manifest
themselves
in other otherwise working scripts. I haven't been able to completely
narrow down the problem, but I promise this new script will have a
ClassCastException that is completely reproducible. :)

Thanks,

Hello Chesnay,
Thank you for your help. After receiving your message I recompiled my
version of Flink completely, and both the NullPointerException
listed in
the TODO and the ClassCastException with the join operation went away.
Previously, I had been only recompiling the modules of Flink that had
been
changed to save time using "mvn clean install -pl :module" and
apparently
that may have been causing some of my issues.
Now, the problem is more clear: when a specific group reduce
function in
my
research project plan file is used within an iteration, I get a
ClassCastException exception:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.apache.flink.api.java.tuple.Tuple2 cannot be cast to [B

I'm not sure why this is causing an exception, and I would greatly
appreciate any assistance. I've revised the barebones error-causing
plan
file to focus on this new error source:

The group reduce function in question seems to work just fine
outside of
iterations. I have organized the commits and pushed to a new branch to
make
it easier to test and hopefully review soon:

Cheers,

Hello Geoffrey,
i could not reproduce this issue with the commits and plan you
provided.
I tried out both the FLINK-4098 and bulk-iterations branches (and
reverted back to the specified commits) and built Flink from scratch.
Could you double check that the code you provided produces the error?
Also, which OS/python version are you using?
Regards,
Chesnay

Hello,
I'll try to take a look this week.

Hello all,
I have recently been working on adding bulk iterations to the
Python
API of
Flink in order to facilitate a research project I am working on.
The
current changes can be seen in this GitHub diff:
https://github.com/apache/flink/compare/master...GEOFBOT:e8c9833b43675af66ce897da9880c4f8cd16aad0
This implementation seems to work for, at least, simple examples,
such as
incrementing numbers in a data set. However, with the
transformations
required for my project, I get an exception
"java.lang.ClassCastException:
[B cannot be cast to org.apache.flink.api.java.tuple.Tuple" thrown
from the
deserializers called by
org.apache.flink.python.api.streaming.data.PythonReceiver.collectBuffer.
I've created the following simplified Python plan by stripping
down my
research project code to the problem-causing parts:
https://gist.github.com/GEOFBOT/abb7f81030aab160e6908093ebaa3b4a
I have been working on this issue but I don't have any ideas on
what
might
be the problem. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable about the
interior
of
the Python API could kindly help?
Thank you very much.
