-----------------------------------
Summary: Add an EitherType to the Java API
Key: FLINK-3002
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3002
Project: Flink
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Java API
Affects Versions: 0.10
Reporter: Stephan Ewen
Fix For: 1.0
Either types are recurring patterns and should be serialized efficiently, so it
makes sense to add them to the core Java API.
Since Java does not have such a type as of Java 8, we would need to add our own
version.
The Scala API handles the Scala Either Type already efficiently. I would not
use the Scala Either Type in the Java API, since we are trying to get the
{{flink-java}} project "Scala free" for people that don't use Scala and o not
want to worry about Scala version matches and mismatches.
