hi Tzu-Li, sorry I have to reopen it but I'm still having troubles with using data from previous records. you said:
“If that’s the case, and you don’t care about losing state on failures and don’t care about at-least-once / exactly-once, then yes you don’t have to use the managed state APIs in Flink. You can just have ordinary fields to achieve this since Flink’s streaming operators are basically long-running processes that continuously process events in the stream and manipulates its state.” look that if one of my fields is of unserializable type, then: if I mark it as transient, then its value erased and I get null pointer exception. on the other hand, leave it without 'transient', it's a compilation error - implementation of function is not serializable. how you explain that? Best, Ziv. -- Sent from: http://apache-flink-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/
