Fabian Hueske created FLINK-1780: ------------------------------------ Summary: Rename FlatCombineFunction to GroupCombineFunction Key: FLINK-1780 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1780 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Java API, Scala API Affects Versions: 0.9 Reporter: Fabian Hueske Priority: Minor Fix For: 0.9
The recently added {{GroupCombineOperator}} requires a {{FlatCombineFunction}}, however a {{GroupReduceOperator}} requires a {{GroupReduceFunction}}. {{FlatCombineFunction}} and {{GroupReduceFunction}} work on the same types of parameters (Iterable and Collector). Therefore, I propose to change the name {{FlatCombineFunction}} to {{GroupCombineFunction}}. Since the function could not be independently used until recently, this API breaking change should be OK. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
