Re: Trying to create a generic aggregate UDF
Hi Dylan, I'm assuming your are using Flink 1.12 and the Blink planner? Beginning from 1.12 you can use the "new" aggregate functions with a better type inference. So TypeInformation will not be used in this stack. I tried to come up with an example that should explain the rough design. I will include this example into the Flink code base. I hope this helps: import org.apache.flink.table.types.inference.InputTypeStrategies; public static class LastIfNotNull extends AggregateFunction> { public static class Accumulator { public T value; public LocalDate date; } public void accumulate(Accumulator acc, T input, LocalDate date) { if (input != null) { acc.value = input; acc.date = date; } } @Override public Row getValue(Accumulator acc) { return Row.of(acc.value, acc.date); } @Override public Accumulator createAccumulator() { return new Accumulator<>(); } @Override public TypeInference getTypeInference(DataTypeFactory typeFactory) { return TypeInference.newBuilder() .inputTypeStrategy( InputTypeStrategies.sequence( InputTypeStrategies.ANY, InputTypeStrategies.explicit(DataTypes.DATE( .accumulatorTypeStrategy( callContext -> { DataType accDataType = DataTypes.STRUCTURED( Accumulator.class, DataTypes.FIELD( "value", callContext.getArgumentDataTypes().get(0)), DataTypes.FIELD("date", DataTypes.DATE())); return Optional.of(accDataType); }) .outputTypeStrategy( callContext -> { DataType argDataType = callContext.getArgumentDataTypes().get(0); DataType outputDataType = DataTypes.ROW( DataTypes.FIELD("value", argDataType), DataTypes.FIELD("date", DataTypes.DATE())); return Optional.of(outputDataType); }) .build(); } } Regards, Timo On 20.01.21 01:04, Dylan Forciea wrote: I am attempting to create an aggregate UDF that takes a generic parameter T, but for the life of me, I can’t seem to get it to work. The UDF I’m trying to implement takes two input arguments, a value that is generic, and a date. It will choose the non-null value with the latest associated date. I had originally done this with separate Top 1 queries connected with a left join, but the memory usage seems far higher than doing this with a custom aggregate function. As a first attempt, I tried to use custom type inference to have it validate that the first argument type is the output type and have a single function, and also used DataTypes.STRUCTURE to try to define the shape of my accumulator.

Timo, I appreciate it! I am using Flink 1.12.0 right now with the Blink planner. What you proposed is roughly what I had come up with the first time around that resulted in the stack trace with the ClassCastException I had originally included.

Re: Trying to create a generic aggregate UDF
Oh, I think I might have a clue as to what is going on. I notice that it will work properly when I only call it on Long. I think that it is using the same generated code for the Converter for whatever was called first. Since in Scala I can't declare an object as static within the class itself, I wonder if it won't generate appropriate Converter code per subtype. I tried creating a subclass that is specific to the type within my class and returning that as the accumulator, but that didn't help. And, I can't refer to that class in the TypeInference since it isn't static and I get an error from Flink because of that. I'm going to see if I just write this UDF in Java with an embedded public static class like you have if it will solve my problems. I'll report back to let you know what I find.

Timo, Will do! I have been patching in a change locally that I have a PR [1] out for, so if this will end up in the next 1.12 patch release, I may add this in with it once it has been approved and merged. On a side note, that PR has been out since the end of October (looks like I need to do a rebase to accommodate the code reformatting change that occurred since). Is there a process for getting somebody to review it? Not sure if with the New Year and the 1.12 release and follow-up if it just got lost in the commotion.

Re: Trying to create a generic aggregate UDF
Hi Dylan, I can help with a review for your PR tomorrow. In general, I would recommend to just ping people a couple of times that have been worked on the component before (see git blame) to get a review. We are all busy and need a bit of pushing from time to time ;-) Thanks, Timo On 21.01.21 16:09, Dylan Forciea wrote: Timo, Will do! I have been patching in a change locally that I have a PR [1] out for, so if this will end up in the next 1.12 patch release, I may add this in with it once it has been approved and merged. On a side note, that PR has been out since the end of October (looks like I need to do a rebase to accommodate the code reformatting change that occurred since). Is there a process for getting somebody to review it? Not sure if with the New Year and the 1.12 release and follow-up if it just got lost in the commotion.

Re: Trying to create a generic aggregate UDF
I wanted to report that I tried out your PR, and it does solve my issue. I am able to create a generic LatestNonNull and it appears to do what is expected.
