Hey all, Currently we have reduce and aggregation methods for non-grouped DataStreams as well, which will produce local aggregates depending on the parallelism of the operator.
This behaviour is neither intuitive nor useful as it only produces sensible results if the user specifically sets the parallelism to 1 which should not be encouraged. I would like to remove these methods from the DataStream api and only keep it for GroupedDataStreams and WindowedDataStream where the aggregation is either executed per-key or per-window. Cheers, Gyula
