Timo Walther created FLINK-3060: ----------------------------------- Summary: Add possibility to integrate custom types into the TypeExtractor Key: FLINK-3060 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3060 Project: Flink Issue Type: New Feature Components: Type Serialization System Reporter: Timo Walther Priority: Minor
As discussed in [FLINK-3002]. It would be nice if we could make custom type integration easier by defining an interface/static method that classes can implement to create their own type information. That gives users an easy extension point. Custom integrated types need to be checked in `getForObject`, `getForClass` and `validateInput`. If we also want to support custom integrated types with generics `createTypeInfoWithTypeHierarchy` needs modifications, too. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
