> Enums produce serialization failures whether they are by themselves or part of a POJO in the stream. I've tried running in IntelliJ IDEA and also via {{flink run}}. Here is a small program to reproduce:
> {code:java}
> package org.apache.flink.testenum;
> import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment;
> public class TestEnumStream {
>     private enum MyEnum {
>         NONE, SOMETHING, EVERYTHING
>     }
>     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
>         final StreamExecutionEnvironment environment = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();
>         environment.setParallelism(1);
>         environment.fromElements(MyEnum.NONE, MyEnum.SOMETHING, MyEnum.EVERYTHING)
>                 .addSink(x -> System.err.println(x));
>         environment.execute("TestEnumStream");
>     }
> }
> {code}
> {noformat}
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot access the constants of the enum org.apache.flink.testenum.TestEnumStream$MyEnum
> 	at org.apache.flink.api.common.typeutils.base.EnumSerializer.createValues(EnumSerializer.java:132)
> 	at org.apache.flink.api.common.typeutils.base.EnumSerializer.<init>(EnumSerializer.java:43)
> 	at org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.EnumTypeInfo.createSerializer(EnumTypeInfo.java:101)
> 	at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment.fromCollection(StreamExecutionEnvironment.java:773)
> 	at org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment.fromElements(StreamExecutionEnvironment.java:674)
> {noformat}
> I took a look at that line in EnumSerializer.java and swapped out the reflection on the "values" method for the simpler `enumClass.getEnumConstants()`, and that seems to work after I install my custom flink-core jar. I believe this is because [http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/reflect/special/enumMembers.html] specifically states you cannot reflect on the "values" method since it is implicitly generated at compile time.
