Greg Hogan created FLINK-6268: --------------------------------- Summary: Object reuse for Either type Key: FLINK-6268 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6268 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Core Affects Versions: 1.3.0 Reporter: Greg Hogan Assignee: Greg Hogan Priority: Minor
While reviewing test coverage for FLINK-4705 I have come across that {{Either}} only implements partial object reuse (when from and to are both {{Right}}). We can implement full object reuse if {{Left}} stores a reference to a {{Right}} and {{Right}} to a {{Left}}. These references will be {{private}} and will remain {{null}} until set by {{EitherSerializer}} when copying or deserializing with object reuse. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
