> Let Java and Scala Type Extraction go through the same stack
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-15674
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15674
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API / DataStream
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: Guowei Ma
> Priority: Major
> Labels: stale-assigned, usability
>
> Currently, the Java and Scala Type Extraction stacks are completely different.
> * Java uses the {{TypeExtractor}}
> * Scala uses the type extraction macros.
> As a result, the same class can be extracted as different types in the
> different stacks, which can lead to very confusing results. In particular,
> when you use the TypeExtractor on Scala Classes, you always get a
> {{GenericType}}.
> *Suggestion for New Design*
> There should be one type extraction stack, based on the TypeExtractor.
> * The TypeExtractor should be extensible and load additions through service
> loaders, similar as it currently loads Avro as an extension.
> * The Scala Type Extraction logic should be such an extension.
> * The Scala Marcos would only capture the {{Type}} (as in Java type), meaning
> {{Class}}, or {{ParameterizedType}}, or {{Array}} (etc.) and delegate this to
> the TypeExtractor.
