Hello,

Using Flink 1.8.1, I'm getting the following error:
     *The TypeHint is using a generic variable.This is not supported,
generic types must be fully specified for the TypeHint.*
when trying to create a ListStateDescriptor with a generic type (full
sample code in attachment):

public class AND<LEFT, RIGHT> extends RichCoFlatMapFunction<LEFT,
RIGHT, Tuple2<LEFT, RIGHT>> {

    private transient ListState<LEFT> leftState;
    private transient ListState<RIGHT> rightState;

    @Override
    public void open(Configuration config) {
        ListStateDescriptor<LEFT> left_descriptor =
            new ListStateDescriptor<>(
                "and_left",
                TypeInformation.of(new TypeHint<LEFT>() {
                }));
        leftState = getRuntimeContext().getListState(left_descriptor);

This gives me the following stack trace:

Googling the error didn't give a working solution.

Is there a way to work with state using Generic types? if yes, how?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best Regards,

Laurent.
