Lage Ragnarsson commented on FLINK-553: --------------------------------------- Has this issue been dropped or resolved? Or is there a different approach one should take in order to get access to the key in a CoGroup function? Specifically for the DataStream API. Thanks. > Add getGroupKey() method to group-at-time operators > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-553 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-553 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: DataSet API > Reporter: GitHub Import > Assignee: Fabian Hueske > Priority: Major > Labels: github-import > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > > Group-at-a-time operators (Reduce & CoGroup) work on multiple records in one > UDF call. Often these UDFs need to access the key that is common to all > records of a group. > We could add a function to set a the key of a group before the UDF is called > (``setGroupKey()``) and a function to get the key (``getGroupKey()``) that > can be called from the UDF. > What do you think about this? > ---------------- Imported from GitHub ---------------- > Url: https://github.com/stratosphere/stratosphere/issues/553 > Created by: [fhueske|https://github.com/fhueske] > Labels: enhancement, java api, scala api, user satisfaction, > Assignee: [aalexandrov|https://github.com/aalexandrov] > Created at: Mon Mar 10 22:28:27 CET 2014 > State: open -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
