Github user mliesenberg commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1097#issuecomment-158766866 yep, based on the discussion above with fabian the default value is set only on the long key. I'll go ahead and set it on the short key as well, if nothing else is defined. I think the issue above is something else though: when a value is found for the short key, but not the long key, it is copied to the long key and removed from the short key - also based on my understanding of the discussion above. rereading it and seeing your use case, it is probably better to drop the removal from the short key.
