Here's a quick example <https://gist.github.com/AndrewWhitaker/e51308bb4b43f7ddefc3> that demonstrates some of the problems I'm having. I used `max` in the example, but actually I get an exception for most of the operations I try directly on Java POJOs. The "User" class referenced here is just the Avro example schema hydrated into a Java POJO. I can post that or the entire project if it'd be helpful. I included the stack trace of the exception in the gist, but I'll post it here too: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Specifying fields by name is onlysupported on Case Classes (for now). at org.apache.flink.api.scala.package$.fieldNames2Indices(package.scala:62) at org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet.aggregate(DataSet.scala:466) at org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet.max(DataSet.scala:503) at SampleAvroJob$.main(SampleAvroJob.scala:12) at SampleAvroJob.main(SampleAvroJob.scala) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:497) at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:140) And if I use field position instead of field name, I get this exception: Exception in thread "main" org.apache.flink.api.common.InvalidProgramException: Aggregating on field positions is only possible on tuple data types. at org.apache.flink.api.scala.operators.ScalaAggregateOperator.<init>(ScalaAggregateOperator.java:71) at org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet.aggregate(DataSet.scala:455) at org.apache.flink.api.scala.DataSet.max(DataSet.scala:482) at SampleAvroJob$.main(SampleAvroJob.scala:12) at SampleAvroJob.main(SampleAvroJob.scala) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:497) at com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain.main(AppMain.java:140) A workaround is to use `.map` to map to tuples first, but this seems a little clunky.
