Hi
I have a quick question about sending data of different types from a spout.
I need to emit a string, double and long from a spout (all at once as a tuple).
Unfortunately Values c'tor takes arguments of the same type so I decided to
convert all of these to Strings.
_collector.emit(new Values(myNameAsString, myDouble.toString,
myLong.toString ))
When the tuple is received in the bolt it cannot convert the long back into a
long.
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to
java.lang.Long
I looked at the value and it is a valid long: 61345076523000
The bolt code that does the str2int conversion is val tupleTimestampAsLong:
Long= tuple.getString(2).toLong
The question, how to emit multiple values of different types from spout/bolt at
once? (or at least how to convert a string into a long).
Thanks a lot!
