Arvid Heise created FLINK-37969: ----------------------------------- Summary: Allow Transformation subgraphs to be merged during translation Key: FLINK-37969 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-37969 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: API / Core Affects Versions: 2.1.0 Reporter: Arvid Heise Assignee: Arvid Heise
Transformations are immutable by design and thus planner or DataStream API need to generate a subgraph in one pass. However, there are some use cases where we would attach some small subgraph to a larger subgraph before translation into a StreamGraph. For example, system views in SQL may actually refer to specific parts of the query where we would like to add a subgraph to a side-output. This ticket is about providing a mechanism to later rewire transformations during translation without losing the immutability of transformations. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
