Re: Pyflink UDF with ARRAY as input

[Xingbo Huang]

Hi Torben,

It is indeed a bug, and I have created a JIRA[1]. The work around solution
is to use the index to solve (written in release-1.12):

env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.get_execution_environment()
env.set_parallelism(1)
t_env = StreamTableEnvironment.create(env,

environment_settings=EnvironmentSettings.new_instance()

.in_streaming_mode().use_blink_planner().build())

@udf(result_type=DataTypes.STRING())
def get_string_element(my_list):
my_string = 'xxx'
for element in my_list:
if element[0] == 2:
my_string = element[1]
return my_string

t = t_env.from_elements(
[("1", [Row(3, "flink")]), ("3", [Row(2, "pyflink")]), ("2",
[Row(2, "python")])],
DataTypes.ROW(
[DataTypes.FIELD("Key", DataTypes.STRING()),
 DataTypes.FIELD("List_element",
 DataTypes.ARRAY(DataTypes.ROW(
 [DataTypes.FIELD("integer_element",
DataTypes.INT()),
  DataTypes.FIELD("string_element",
DataTypes.STRING())])))]))
print(t.select(get_string_element(t.List_element)).to_pandas())

Best,

Pyflink UDF with ARRAY as input

[Barth, Torben]

Dear List,

I have  a table with the following structure

my_table
-- Key: String
-- List_element: ARRAY>

I want to define a udf to extract information of the “list_element”. I do not 
manage to access the information of the array in the udf. I try something like:

@udf(result_type=DataTypes.STRING())
def get_string_element(my_list):
   my_string = ‘xxx’
for element in my_list:
if element.integer_element  == 2:
my_string = element. string_element
return my_string


table_env.create_temporary_function("get_string_element", get_string_element)
# use the function in Python Table API
my_table.select("get_string_element(List_element)")

Unfortunately, I cannot get it work. Does anybody have an idea how the correct 
way to extract the information is?

Any comments or ideas are very welcome.

Thanks
Torben
