Lage Ragnarsson commented on FLINK-553:
---------------------------------------
Has this issue been dropped or resolved? Or is there a different approach one
should take in order to get access to the key in a CoGroup function?
Specifically for the DataStream API.
Thanks.

> Group-at-a-time operators (Reduce & CoGroup) work on multiple records in one
> UDF call. Often these UDFs need to access the key that is common to all
> records of a group.
> We could add a function to set a the key of a group before the UDF is called
> (``setGroupKey()``) and a function to get the key (``getGroupKey()``) that
> can be called from the UDF.
> What do you think about this?
