             Summary: Implement a first(n) operator
                 Key: FLINK-970
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-970
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Timo Walther
            Assignee: Timo Walther
            Priority: Minor


It is only syntactic sugar, but I had many cases where I just needed the first 
element  or the first 2 elements in a GroupReduce.

E.g. Instead of

{code:java}
.reduceGroup(new GroupReduceFunction<String, String>() {
                                        @Override
                                        public void reduce(Iterator<String> 
values, Collector<String> out) throws Exception {
                                                out.collect(values.next());
                                        }
                                })
{code}

{code:java}
.first()
{code}
