Timo Walther created FLINK-7859: ----------------------------------- Summary: Allow field annotations to define TypeInformation Key: FLINK-7859 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7859 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Type Serialization System Reporter: Timo Walther Assignee: Timo Walther
Right now it is impossible to define custom TypeInformation for specific fields. For example, we cannot provide information about a {{Row}} type that is a field of Scala case class. An option would be to allow fields to be annotated with {{@TypeInfo}} such that a type information can be provided. {code} case class Test(a: Int, b: String, @TypeInfo(classOf[MyRowFactory]) c: Row) {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
