    @TypeInfo(MapViewTypeInfoFactory.class)

    public class MapView<K,​V>
    extends Object
    implements DataView
    A DataView that provides Map-like functionality in the accumulator of an AggregateFunction or TableAggregateFunction when large amounts of data are expected.

    A MapView can be backed by a Java HashMap or can leverage Flink's state backends depending on the context in which the aggregate function is used. In many unbounded data scenarios, the MapView delegates all calls to a MapState instead of the HashMap.

    Note: Keys of a MapView must not be null. Nulls in values are supported. For heap-based state backends, hashCode/equals of the original (i.e. external) class are used. However, the serialization format will use internal data structures.

    The DataTypes of the view's keys and values are reflectively extracted from the accumulator definition. This includes the generic argument K and V of this class. If reflective extraction is not successful, it is possible to use a DataTypeHint on top the accumulator field. It will be mapped to the underlying collection.

    The following examples show how to specify an AggregateFunction with a MapView:

    
     public class MyAccumulator {
    
       public MapView<String, Integer> map = new MapView<>();
    
       // or explicit:
       // {@literal @}DataTypeHint("MAP<STRING, INT>")
       // public MapView<String, Integer> map = new MapView<>();
    
       public long count;
     }
    
     public class MyAggregateFunction extends AggregateFunction<Long, MyAccumulator> {
    
      {@literal @}Override
      public MyAccumulator createAccumulator() {
        return new MyAccumulator();
      }
    
       public void accumulate(MyAccumulator accumulator, String id) {
         if (!accumulator.map.contains(id)) {
           accumulator.map.put(id, 1);
           accumulator.count++;
         }
       }
    
      {@literal @}Override
       public Long getValue(MyAccumulator accumulator) {
         return accumulator.count;
       }
     }

        public MapView()
        Creates a map view.

        The DataType of keys and values is reflectively extracted.

      • MapView

        @Deprecated
        public MapView​(TypeInformation<?> keyType,
                       TypeInformation<?> valueType)
        Deprecated.
        This method uses the old type system. Please use a DataTypeHint instead if the reflective type extraction is not successful.
        Creates a MapView with the specified key and value types.
        Parameters:
        keyType - The type of keys of the map view.
        valueType - The type of values of the map view.
