Till Rohrmann created FLINK-1256: ------------------------------------ Summary: Use Kryo for user code object serialization Key: FLINK-1256 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1256 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Till Rohrmann
Currently, Flink uses java serialization for user code objects (UDFs). This limits the set of supported types which can be caught in the closure or are contained as members in the user code object. Maybe we can add Kryo as a second serialization mechanism which is used if the Java serialization fails. That way we would support more complex user code objects which finally improves the user experience. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
