> DataStream API PojoFieldAccessor doesn't support nested POJOs
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-3702
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3702
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DataStream API
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Robert Metzger
> Assignee: Gabor Gevay
>
> The {{PojoFieldAccessor}} (which is used by {{.sum(String)}} and similar
> methods) doesn't support nested POJOs right now.
> As part of FLINK-3697 I'll add a check for a nested POJO and fail with an
> exception.
