Fang Yong created FLINK-7010: -------------------------------- Summary: Lamdba expression in flatMap throws InvalidTypesException in DataSet Key: FLINK-7010 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7010 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Fang Yong
When I create an example and use lambda in flatMap as follows {{ ExecutionEnvironment env = ExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); DataSet<String> source = env.fromCollection( Lists.newArrayList("hello", "flink", "test", "flat", "map", "lambda")); DataSet<Tuple2<Integer, String>> tupled = source.flatMap((word, out) -> { int length = word.length(); out.collect(Tuple2.of(length, word)); }); try { tupled.print(); } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } }} InvalidTypesException was throwed and the exception stack is as follows: {{ Caused by: org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.InvalidTypesException: The return type of function 'testFlatMap(FlatMapTest.java:20)' could not be determined automatically, due to type erasure. You can give type information hints by using the returns(...) method on the result of the transformation call, or by letting your function implement the 'ResultTypeQueryable' interface. at org.apache.flink.api.java.DataSet.getType(DataSet.java:178) at org.apache.flink.api.java.DataSet.collect(DataSet.java:407) at org.apache.flink.api.java.DataSet.print(DataSet.java:1605) Caused by: org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.InvalidTypesException: The generic type parameters of 'Collector' are missing.
