> One recent feature of Gelly is algorithms which detect duplicated or similar computation which can be shared. My initial implementation could only reuse a {{DataSet}} result. Before committing to Flink this was updated to use a javassist {{ProxyFactory}} allowing configuration to be merged and results to be replaced. There were some issues, as identified in FLINK-4257. With a {{NoOpOperator}} we can remove the use of {{ProxyFactory}} and resolve the identified issues.
> This ticket adds a {{NoOpOperator}} which is unwound in {{OperatorTranslation.translate}}. The {{NoOpOperator}} contains a {{DataSet}} which is accessed by a getter and setter.
