----------------------------------------

If that's ok with [~aljoscha] I would assign this issue to me as I've started working on a solution ([here|https://github.com/radicalbit/flink/commits/1159-implicit]) that resulted from a mailing list discussion with [~till.rohrmann] and [~StephanEwen] ([here|http://apache-flink-mailing-list-archive.1008284.n3.nabble.com/Case-style-anonymous-functions-not-supported-by-Scala-API-td10052.html]).

> In Scala it is very common to define anonymous functions of the following form
> {code}
> {
> case foo: Bar => foobar(foo)
> case _ => throw new RuntimeException()
> }
> {code}
> These case style anonymous functions are not supported yet by the Scala API. Thus, one has to write redundant code to name the function parameter.
> What works is the following pattern, but it is not intuitive for someone coming from Scala:
> {code}
> dataset.map{
>   _ match{
>     case foo:Bar => ...
>   }
> }
> {code}
