Rong Rong commented on FLINK-11569: ----------------------------------- agree this will result in many test fixes, and not just limited to flink-tables. I will try to dig deeper and see if there's anything fundamentally problematic other than test changes. Thanks for the comment and suggestions [~fhueske] [~twalthr] ! > Row type does not serialize in to readable format when invoke "toString" > method > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-11569 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11569 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Type Serialization System > Reporter: Rong Rong > Assignee: Rong Rong > Priority: Major > > Seems like the "toString" method for Row type is only concatenating all > fields using COMMA ",". However it does not wrap the entire Row in some type > of encapsulation, for example "()". This results in nested Row being > serialized as if they are all in one level. > For example: > {code:java} > Row.of("a", 1, Row.of("b", 2)) > {code} > is printed out as > {code:java} > "a",1,"b",2 > {code} > Problematic piece of code can be found here: > [https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/types/Row.java#L87] > New changes should be simple to have a dedicated wrapper for the "row" > stringify format, something like: > {code:java} > ("a",1,"b",2) > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
