Xiaogang Shi created FLINK-5023: ----------------------------------- Summary: Add get() method in State interface Key: FLINK-5023 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5023 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: State Backends, Checkpointing Reporter: Xiaogang Shi
Currently, the only method provided by the State interface is `clear()`. I think we should provide another method called `get()` to return the structured value (e.g., value, list, or map) under the current key. In fact, the functionality of `get()` has already been implemented in all types of states: e.g., `value()` in ValueState and `get()` in ListState. The modification to the interface can better abstract these states. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
