Till Rohrmann created FLINK-6802: ------------------------------------ Summary: PojoSerializer does not create ConvertDeserializer for removed/added fields Key: FLINK-6802 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6802 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Type Serialization System Affects Versions: 1.3.0, 1.4.0 Reporter: Till Rohrmann
When calling {{PojoSerializer#ensureCompatibility}}, the PojoSerializer checks for compatibility. Currently, the method only construct a ConvertDeserializer if the number of old and new pojo fields is exactly the same. However, given the {{TypeSerializerConfigurationSnapshots}} and the current set of fields, it should also be possible to construct a ConvertDeserializer if new fields were added or old fields removed from the Pojo. I think that we should add this functionality. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
