Robert Metzger commented on FLINK-1159:
---------------------------------------
Mh. How about adding an additional method with a different name for that case?
Will Scala be able to support this at some point or is it a fundamental
limitation?
> Case style anonymous functions not supported by Scala API

> Key: FLINK-1159
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1159
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
>
> In Scala it is very common to define anonymous functions of the following form
> {code}
> {
> case foo: Bar => foobar(foo)
> case _ => throw new RuntimeException()
> }
> {code}
> These case style anonymous functions are not supported yet by the Scala API.
> Thus, one has to write redundant code to name the function parameter.
> What works is the following pattern, but it is not intuitive for someone
> coming from Scala:
> {code}
> dataset.map{
> _ match{
> case foo:Bar => ...
> }
> }
> {code}
