Wencong Liu commented on FLINK-5336: ------------------------------------ Thanks [~qingyue] , I think the *FileSourceSplitSerializer* could be modified to no longer implement the *IOReadableWritable* interface to support serialization/deserialization on DataInputView/DataOutputView. I'll propose a FLIP about the specific actions at a later time. > Make Path immutable > ------------------- > > Key: FLINK-5336 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5336 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: API / DataSet > Reporter: Stephan Ewen > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > > The {{Path}} class is currently mutable to support the {{IOReadableWritable}} > serialization. Since that serialization is not used any more, I suggest to > drop that interface from Path and make the Path's URI final. > Being immutable, we can store configures paths properly without the chance of > them being mutated as side effects. > Many parts of the code make the assumption that the Path is immutable, being > susceptible to subtle errors. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
