ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-8364: --------------------------------------- Github user StephanEwen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/5356 I am wondering whether this discussion is a bit confused. All state facing the user in the APIs already has the behavior that there is no `null`, but only empty iterators. That's because all state is wrapped into a `UserFacingListState` in the `DefaultKeyedStateStore`. So, is this a non-issue, actually? Something that may only affect test implementations of `ListState` > Add iterator() to ListState which returns empty iterator when it has no value > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-8364 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8364 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: State Backends, Checkpointing > Affects Versions: 1.4.0 > Reporter: Bowen Li > Assignee: Bowen Li > Priority: Major > Fix For: 1.5.0 > > > Add iterator() to ListState which returns empty iterator when it has no value -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
