Péter Szabó created FLINK-1274: ---------------------------------- Summary: Make Flink Streaming's FileSourceFunction type generic Key: FLINK-1274 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1274 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Streaming Reporter: Péter Szabó Assignee: Péter Szabó
We experimented with reading files with Flink Streaming from non-local file systems that are supported by the Flink api (e.g. HDFS). Our FileSourceFunction works only with String types. It would be important to parametrize that class in order to be able to read data from a file into a specified type. When we tried to do so, we got a type erasure problem. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
