ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-7251: --------------------------------------- GitHub user twalthr opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/6120 [FLINK-7251] [types] Remove the flink-java8 module and improve lambda type extraction ## What is the purpose of the change This PR merge the `flink-java8` module into `flink-core`/`flink-runtime`. It also fixes issues with lambda extraction that occurred outside of `flink-java8` which used a different compiler. Lambdas are still difficult to use in Flink. I'm working on an experimental solution that I will publish soon. ## Brief change log - Integration of some lambda functions into existing examples/tests - Removal of error-prone lambda input validation - Removal of `flink-java8` - Code clean up (remove warnings at several places) ## Verifying this change This change is already covered by existing tests, such as `LambdaExtractionTest`. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): yes - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: no - The serializers: no - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): no - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: no - The S3 file system connector: no ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? no - If yes, how is the feature documented? not applicable You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/twalthr/flink FLINK-7251_1 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/6120.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #6120 ---- commit 0710fd42c321964dbf523878f59f82624baee597 Author: Timo Walther <twalthr@...> Date: 2018-06-04T10:49:43Z [FLINK-7251] [types] Remove the flink-java8 module and improve lambda type extraction ---- > Merge the flink-java8 project into flink-core > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-7251 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7251 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build System > Reporter: Stephan Ewen > Assignee: Timo Walther > Priority: Major > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
