Hi Timo, I defiantly did. but broadcasting a command and trying to address the persisted state (I mean the state of the data stream and not the broadcasted one) you get the exception that I wrote (java.lang.NullPointerException: No key set. This method should not be called outside of a keyed context). e.g doing something like
override def processBroadcastElement(value: BroadcastRequest, ctx: KeyedBroadcastProcessFunction[String, Request, BroadcastRequest, Response]#Context, out: Collector[Response]): Unit = { value match { case Command(StateCmd.Fetch, _) => if (state.value() != null) { ouout.collecy(state.value()) } will yield that exception BR Avi On Fri, Apr 26, 2019 at 11:55 AM Timo Walther <twal...@apache.org> wrote: > This Message originated outside your organization. > > Hi Avi, > > did you have a look at the .connect() and .broadcast() API > functionalities?
