Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-2359: ------------------------------------- >From 0.10 on, Flink requires at least Java 7. That means, you can use the >"diamond" to have the compiler infer generic parameters. But the change is probably reasonable, we could add that. > Add factory methods to the Java TupleX types > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-2359 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2359 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Java API > Affects Versions: 0.10 > Reporter: Gabor Gevay > Assignee: Gabor Gevay > Priority: Minor > > The compiler doesn't infer generic type arguments from constructor arguments, > which means that we have to call Tuple constructors like this: > Tuple2<Integer, String> = new Tuple2<Integer, String>(5, "foo"); > I propose adding a factory method, which would provide the following > alternative: > Tuple2<Integer, String> = Tuple2.create(5, "foo"); > (Note that C++ and C# Tuples also have similar factory methods for the same > reason.) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
