Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-2668:
-------------------------------------
The behavior is a bit curious. Is there a good reason that projections are
appended? Is there a case when the projection cannot be handled with a single
var-arg method?
> ProjectOperator method to close projection

> Key: FLINK-2668
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2668
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java API
> Affects Versions: master
> Reporter: Greg Hogan
> Priority: Minor
>
> I have come across an issue in my code where I called project(...) on a
> {{DataSet}} which was already a {{ProjectOperator}}. Instead of reducing the
> number of fields from 2 to 1 this instead increased the number of fields from
> 2 to 3 resulting in
> {{org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.InvalidTypesException: Input
> mismatch: Tuple arity '3' expected but was '1'.}} when processing the next
> operator.
> This can be resolved by adding an optional explicit call to conclude the
> projection, perhaps {{ProjectOperator.closeProjection()}}. Can this be done
> without creating a new no-op operator?
