Hej,
Do you want to use Scala? You can use simple case classes there and use
fields directly as keys, it will look very elegant...
If you want to stick with Java, you can actually use POJOs (Robert just
corrected me, expression keys should be available there)
Can you define a class
public class MyClass {
public String id;
public int someValue;
public double anotherValue;
...
}
and then run a program like this:
DataSet<MyClass> data = env.readAsText(...).map(new Parser());
data.groupBy("id").sort("someValue").reduceGroup(new
GroupReduceFunction(...));
Feel free to post your program here so we can give you comments!
Greetings,
Stephan
