Hi YI,
not all conversion might be supported in the `toRetractStream` method.
Unfortunately, the rework of the type system is still in progress. I
hope we can improve the user experience there quite soon.
Have you tried to use `Row` instead? `toRetractStream[Row]` should work
for all data types. A subsequent conversion MapFunction can then
transform the data in your desired representation.
Regards,
Timo

Hi, all
I am trying to do something like this
```
tEnv
.sqlQuery("SELECT rawEvent.id, collect(rawEvent.name) FROM rawEvent
GROUP BY rawEvent.id")
.toRetractStream[(Long, java.util.Map[String, java.lang.Integer])]
```
An exception is thrown when I ran the above code with the default
planner setting in 1.10.1. I presume I am using the older planner.

The result type of aggregation function collect is multiset. How do I
convert it to a `java.util.Map[String, java.lang.Integer]`?
Cheers,
