             Summary: Type Migration: introducing primitive functional interfaces
                 Key: FLINK-23907
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-23907
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Oleg Smirnov


Hey! 

We are a group of researchers, and we are testing our data-driven [plugin|https://github.com/JetBrains-Research/data-driven-type-migration], which is based on the IntelliJ's [Type Migration|https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/type-migration.html] framework and adjusts it using custom structural-replace templates that express the adaptations required to perform the type change.

I want to apply several type changes using it and open the PR, thus introducing primitive functional interfaces in order to prevent unnecessary boxing (like BooleanSupplier instead Supplier<Boolean>, OptionalInt instead of Optional<Integer>, etc. ), since it can affect the performance of the code (Effective Java, Items 44, 61).

The patch itself is already prepared, so I guess I will need to open this ticket, receive your approval, and then open the PR?

Thank you in advance!
