[jira] [Created] (FLINK-3277) Use Value types in Gelly API
Greg Hogan created FLINK-3277:
---------------------------------
Summary: Use Value types in Gelly API
Key: FLINK-3277
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3277
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Gelly
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Greg Hogan
This would be a breaking change so the discussion needs to happen before the 1.0.0 release.
I think it would benefit Flink to use {{Value}} types wherever possible. The {{Graph}} functions {{inDegrees}}, {{outDegrees}}, and {{getDegrees}} each return {{DataSet<Tuple2<K, Long>>}}. Using {{Long}} creates a new heap object for every serialization and deserialization. The mutable {{Value}} types do not suffer from this issue when object reuse is enabled.
I lean towards a preference for conciseness in documentation and performance in examples and APIs.
