Greg Hogan commented on FLINK-4440: ----------------------------------- Flink supports a minimum of Java 7 (which is end-of-life) so the current usage with the diamond operator is {{Vertex<Integer, NullValue> v = new Vertex<>(42, NullValue.getInstance());}}. If we were to add these I think having a second constructor without the value parameter would be clearer than creating two new static methods. I think the better long-term solution would be to have Vertex and Edge be interfaces or abstract classes to use POJOs instead of tuples. > Make API for edge/vertex creation less verbose > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4440 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4440 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Gelly > Reporter: Ivan Mushketyk > Assignee: Ivan Mushketyk > Priority: Trivial > > It would be better if one could create vertex/edges like this: > {code:java} > Vertex<Integer, NullValue> v = Vertex.create(42); > Edge<Integer, Integer, NullValue> e = Edge.create(5, 6); > {code} > Instead of this: > {code:java} > Vertex<Integer, NullValue> v = new Vertex<Integer, NullValue>(42, > NullValue.getInstance()); > Edge<Integer, Integer, NullValue> e = new Edge<Integer, Integer, > NullValue>(5, 6, NullValue.getInstance()); > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
