Method Detail

closeWith

public DataStream<T> closeWith(DataStream<T> feedbackStream)

Closes the iteration. This method defines the end of the iterative program part that will be fed back to the start of the iteration.

A common usage pattern for streaming iterations is to use output splitting to send a part of the closing data stream to the head. Refer to DataStream.split(org.apache.flink.streaming.api.collector.selector.OutputSelector) for more information.

Parameters:

feedbackStream - DataStream that will be used as input to the iteration head.

Returns:

The feedback stream.

withFeedbackType

public <F> IterativeStream.ConnectedIterativeStreams<T,F> withFeedbackType(Class<F> feedbackTypeClass)

Changes the feedback type of the iteration and allows the user to apply co-transformations on the input and feedback stream, as in a ConnectedStreams.

For type safety the user needs to define the feedback type

Parameters:

feedbackTypeClass - Class of the elements in the feedback stream.

Returns:

A IterativeStream.ConnectedIterativeStreams.

withFeedbackType

public <F> IterativeStream.ConnectedIterativeStreams<T,F> withFeedbackType(TypeHint<F> feedbackTypeHint)

Changes the feedback type of the iteration and allows the user to apply co-transformations on the input and feedback stream, as in a ConnectedStreams.

For type safety the user needs to define the feedback type

Parameters:

feedbackTypeHint - Class of the elements in the feedback stream.

Returns:

A IterativeStream.ConnectedIterativeStreams.

withFeedbackType

public <F> IterativeStream.ConnectedIterativeStreams<T,F> withFeedbackType(TypeInformation<F> feedbackType)

Changes the feedback type of the iteration and allows the user to apply co-transformations on the input and feedback stream, as in a ConnectedStreams.

For type safety the user needs to define the feedback type

Parameters:

feedbackType - The type information of the feedback stream.

Returns:

A IterativeStream.ConnectedIterativeStreams.
