Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-4832:
-----------------------------------------
Counting {{0}} elements using a union with a dummy would only be possible on a
global aggregation, not on a keyed aggregation. For the keyed aggregation you
would have to insert a dummy for every key but what is "every key".
> Count/Sum 0 elements

> Key: FLINK-4832
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4832
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Timo Walther
>
> Currently, the Table API is unable to count or sum up 0 elements. We should
> improve DataSet aggregations for this. Maybe by union the original DataSet
> with a dummy record or by using a MapPartition function. Coming up with a
> good design for this is also part of this issue.
