Hello, Using Flink 1.8.1, I'm getting the following error: *The TypeHint is using a generic variable.This is not supported, generic types must be fully specified for the TypeHint.* when trying to create a ListStateDescriptor with a generic type (full sample code in attachment):
public class AND<LEFT, RIGHT> extends RichCoFlatMapFunction<LEFT, RIGHT, Tuple2<LEFT, RIGHT>> { private transient ListState<LEFT> leftState; private transient ListState<RIGHT> rightState; @Override public void open(Configuration config) { ListStateDescriptor<LEFT> left_descriptor = new ListStateDescriptor<>( "and_left", TypeInformation.of(new TypeHint<LEFT>() { })); leftState = getRuntimeContext().getListState(left_descriptor); This gives me the following stack trace: *Exception in thread "main" org.apache.flink.runtime.client.JobExecutionException: Job execution failed. at org.apache.flink.runtime.jobmaster.JobResult.toJobExecutionResult(JobResult.java:146) at org.apache.flink.runtime.minicluster.MiniCluster.executeJobBlocking(MiniCluster.java:638) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.LocalStreamEnvironment.execute(LocalStreamEnvironment.java:123) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment.execute(StreamExecutionEnvironment.java:1509) at eu.euranova.leadcep.Main.main(Main.java:61)Caused by: org.apache.flink.util.FlinkRuntimeException: The TypeHint is using a generic variable.This is not supported, generic types must be fully specified for the TypeHint. at org.apache.flink.api.common.typeinfo.TypeHint.<init>(TypeHint.java:54) at eu.euranova.leadcep.AND$1.<init>(AND.java:22) at eu.euranova.leadcep.AND.open(AND.java:19) at org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.util.FunctionUtils.openFunction(FunctionUtils.java:36) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.AbstractUdfStreamOperator.open(AbstractUdfStreamOperator.java:102) at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.co.CoStreamFlatMap.open(CoStreamFlatMap.java:46) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.StreamTask.openAllOperators(StreamTask.java:424) at org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.tasks.StreamTask.invoke(StreamTask.java:290) at org.apache.flink.runtime.taskmanager.Task.run(Task.java:711) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)* Googling the error didn't give a working solution. Is there a way to work with state using Generic types? if yes, how? Thanks in advance for your help!
