Gabor Gevay created FLINK-2806: ---------------------------------- Summary: No TypeInfo for Scala's Nothing type Key: FLINK-2806 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2806 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Scala API Reporter: Gabor Gevay Assignee: Gabor Gevay Priority: Minor
When writing some generic code, I encountered a situation where I needed a TypeInformation[Nothing]. Two problems prevent me from getting it: 1. TypeInformationGen.mkTypeInfo doesn't return a real TypeInformation[Nothing]. (It actually returns a casted null in that case.) 2. The line implicit def createTypeInformation[T]: TypeInformation[T] = macro TypeUtils.createTypeInfo[T] does not fire in some situations when it should, when T = Nothing. (I guess this is a compiler bug.) I will open a PR shortly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
