Kenneth Knowles created BEAM-651: ------------------------------------ Summary: Consider making TypedPValue.setTypeDescriptorInternal no longer Internal Key: BEAM-651 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-651 Project: Beam Issue Type: Wish Components: sdk-java-core Reporter: Kenneth Knowles Priority: Minor
This would give fairly pithy answers to StackOverflow questions sometimes. When choosing between .getOutputCoder() and .getOutputTypeDescriptor() for a transform/DoFn we often choose the type, so the coder registry can do its thing. This would also give a similar choice between .setCoder(...) and .setTypeDescriptor(...). And anyhow we have the intention of removing our practice of the "*Internal" suffix, so this one might be most easily solved by making it public. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
