Gyula Fora reassigned FLINK-3798: --------------------------------- Assignee: Gyula Fora > Clean up RocksDB state backend access modifiers > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-3798 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3798 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Streaming Connectors > Reporter: Gyula Fora > Assignee: Gyula Fora > Priority: Minor > > The RocksDB state backend uses a lot package private methods and fields which > makes it very hard to subclass the different parts for added functionality. I > think these should be protected instead. > Also the AbstractRocksDBState declares some methods final when there are > use-cases when a subclass migh want to call them. > Just to give you an example I am creating a version of the value state which > would keep a small cache on heap. For this it would be enough to subclass the > RockDBStateBackend and RocksDBVAlue state classes if the above mentioned > changes were made. Now I have to use reflection to access package private > fields and actually copy classes due to final methods. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
