Greg Hogan created FLINK-2723: --------------------------------- Summary: CopyableValue method to copy into new instance Key: FLINK-2723 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2723 Project: Flink Issue Type: New Feature Components: Core Affects Versions: master Reporter: Greg Hogan Assignee: Greg Hogan Priority: Minor
Provide a method for generic user-defined functions to clone a {{CopyableValue}}. A common use case is a {{GroupReduceFunction}} that needs to store multiple objects. With object reuse we need to make a deep copy and with type erasure we cannot call new. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
