> When calling {SingleOutputStreamOperator#getSideOutput(OutputTag<X>} multiple times with the output tags having different types you get the following exception:
> {code}
> "Trying to add a side input for the same id with a different type. This is not allowed."
> {code}
> This error message is ambiguous, as it could either mean that you cannot add 2 side outputs with the same name but different types or that 2 side outputs with different types cannot be retrieved from a single operator.
> Furthermore, the error message contains the concept of node id's (i guess?) which users aren't exposed to. This is confusing and should be reworded to work with operators.
> Lastly, i find this limitation rather odd. It is possible for an operator to have multiple side outputs. It is also possible to have a side output with a different type than the main output. Yet, it is not possible to have multiple side outputs with different types.
