Robert Metzger created FLINK-4330: ------------------------------------- Summary: Consider removing min()/minBy()/max()/maxBy()/sum() utility methods from the DataStream API Key: FLINK-4330 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4330 Project: Flink Issue Type: Sub-task Components: DataStream API Reporter: Robert Metzger Fix For: 2.0.0
I think we should consider removing the min()/minBy()/max()/maxBy()/sum() utility methods from the DataStream API. They make the maintenance of the code unnecessary complicated, and don't add enough value for the users (who can not access the window metadata). If we are keeping the methods, we should consolidate the min/minBy methods: the difference is subtle, and minBy can subsume the min method. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
