acceptPartialFunctions extends the original DataSet with methods with unique names
that delegate to core higher-order functions (e.g. map) so that we can work around
the fact that overloaded methods taking functions as parameters can't accept partial
functions as well. This enables the possibility to directly apply pattern matching
to decompose inputs such as tuples, case classes and collections.
The following is a small example that showcases how this extensions would work on
a Flink data set:
object Main {
import org.apache.flink.api.scala.extensions._
caseclass Point(x: Double, y: Double)
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
val env = ExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment
val ds = env.fromElements(Point(1, 2), Point(3, 4), Point(5, 6))
ds.filterWith {
case Point(x, _) => x > 1
}.reduceWith {
case (Point(x1, y1), (Point(x2, y2))) => Point(x1 + y1, x2 + y2)
}.mapWith {
case Point(x, y) => (x, y)
}.flatMapWith {
case (x, y) =>Seq('x' -> x, 'y' -> y)
}.groupingBy {
case (id, value) => id
}
}
}
The extension consists of several implicit conversions over all the data set representations
that could gain from this feature. To use this set of extensions methods the user has to
explicitly opt-in by importing org.apache.flink.api.scala.extensions.acceptPartialFunctions.
