Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-18629:
------------------------------------------

I'm happy with either approach. Currently, if you did use different keys it 
will just break later, when it tries to assemble the operator, right?

> ConnectedStreams#keyBy can not derive key TypeInformation for lambda 
> KeySelectors

>               StreamExecutionEnvironment env = 
> StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();

>               DataStreamSource<Integer> stream2 = env.fromElements(1, 2);
>               ConnectedStreams<Integer, Integer> connectedStreams = 
> stream1.connect(stream2)
>                       .keyBy(v -> v, v -> v);
>               KeyedStream<?, ?> firstKeyedInput = (KeyedStream<?, ?>)

>       }
> {code}
> The problem is that the wildcard type is evaluated as {{Object}} for lambdas, 
> which in turn produces {{GenericTypeInfo<Object>}} for any KeySelector 
> provided as lambda.
> I suggest changing the method signature to:
> {code}
>       public <K1, K2> ConnectedStreams<IN1, IN2> keyBy(
>                       KeySelector<IN1, K1> keySelector1,
>                       KeySelector<IN2, K2> keySelector2)
> {code}
> This would be a code compatible change. Might break the compatibility of 
> state backend (would change derived key type info). 
> Still there would be a workaround to use the second method for old programs:
> {code}
>       public <KEY> ConnectedStreams<IN1, IN2> keyBy(
>                       KeySelector<IN1, KEY> keySelector1,
>                       KeySelector<IN2, KEY> keySelector2,
>                       TypeInformation<KEY> keyType)
> {code}
