[jira] [Updated] (BEAM-225) Create Class for Common TypeDescriptors

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-225?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jesse Anderson updated BEAM-225:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
There should be a built-in class for common types like String, Float, etc.

Right now, all types have to create an inline TypeDescriptor:
{code:java}
        PCollection<String> words = suits.apply(
                FlatMapElements.via(
                        (String line) -> Arrays.asList(line.split(" "))
                ).withOutputType(new TypeDescriptor<String>() {}));
{code}

The should be a built-in class with common types like String so you don't have to create a TypeDescriptor each time like:
{code:java}
              PCollection<String> words = suits.apply(
                FlatMapElements.via(
                        (String line) -> Arrays.asList(line.split(" "))
                ).withOutputType(TypeDescriptors.STRINGS));
{code}

An example of this is Apache Crunch's Writables class https://crunch.apache.org/apidocs/0.11.0/org/apache/crunch/types/writable/Writables.html.
