Summary: Improve dealing with Row in DataStream API
Key: FLINK-19981
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19981
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: Table SQL / API
Reporter: Timo Walther
Assignee: Timo Walther
Working with indices for accessing a row's fields is cumbersome especially if a
row consists of many columns (some pipelines have 500+ columns) and a column
name needs to be mapped to an index before a field can be accessed. We can
leverage the available schema information to make dealing with rows more
convenient. The runtime impact should be neglectable if implemented correctly.
If maximum performance is required people can fallback to index-based field
access or even internal RowData structure at any time.
This introduces:
{code}
Row.withPositions(int length)
Row.withNames()
Row.getField(String)
Row.setField(String, T value)
{code}
