Wouldn't you mind @fhueske ? > Add support for out-of-place aggregations > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-1293 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1293 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: DataSet API > Affects Versions: 0.7.0-incubating > Reporter: Viktor Rosenfeld > Assignee: Fabian Hueske > Priority: Minor > > Currently, the output of an aggregation is of the same type as the input. > This restriction has to major drawbacks: > 1. Every tuple field can only be used in one aggregation because the > aggregations result is stored in the field. > 2. Aggregations having a return type that is different from the input type, > e.g., count or average, cannot be implemented. > It would be nice to have the aggregation return any kind of tuple as a > result, so the restrictions above no longer apply. > See also: > - > https://github.com/stratosphere/stratosphere/wiki/Design-of-Aggregate-Operator > - > http://apache-flink-incubator-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/Hi-Aggregation-support-td2311.html -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
