Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-947:
----------------------------------------
Yes, they would. Doing it "properly" would require changing how we execute
stuff: Having operators that work on raw binary data. Maybe having support for
schemas.
Projections are not strictly necessary but having them explicit makes the
system easier. Also, right now, for a mapper a check is performed whether the
POJO types that the user uses have fields for all the named fields in the
dataset.
> Add support for "Named Datasets"

> Key: FLINK-947
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-947
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Java API
> Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
> Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek
> Priority: Minor
>
> This would create an API that is a mix between SQL like declarativity and the
> power of user defined functions. Example user code could look like this:
> {code:Java}
> NamedDataSet one = ...
> NamedDataSet two = ...
> NamedDataSet result = one.join(two).where("key").equalTo("otherKey")
> .project("a", "b", "c")
> .map( (UserTypeIn in) -> return new UserTypeOut(...) )
> .print();
> {code}
