--------------------------------
Summary: Refactor the class hierarchy for BinaryFormat
Key: FLINK-12900
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12900
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Table SQL / Runtime
Reporter: Liya Fan
Assignee: Liya Fan
The there are many classes in the class hierarchy of BinaryFormat. They share
the same memory format:
header + nullable bits + fixed length part + variable length part
So many operations can be applied to a number of sub-classes. Currently, many
such operations are implemented in each sub-class, although they implement
identical functionality.
This makes the code hard to understand and maintain.
In this proposal, we refactor the class hierarchy, and move common operations
into the base class, leaving only one implementation for each common operation.
