Robert Metzger commented on FLINK-2081: --------------------------------------- You can always work around that by leaving the open method empty and initialize your stuff on the first next()/hasNext() call. > Change order of restore state and open for Streaming Operators > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-2081 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2081 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Streaming > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek > Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek > > Right now, the order is restore state -> open. Users often set internal state > in the open method, this would overwrite state that was restored from a > checkpoint. If we change the order to open -> restore this should not be a > problem anymore. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
