>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Java API
>            Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
>
> I changed the WordCount example as below and get an exception:
> Tokenizer is change to this (removed generics and added cast to String):
> {code:java}
> public static final class Tokenizer implements FlatMapFunction {
> 	public void flatMap(Object value, Collector out) {
> 		String[] tokens = ((String) value).toLowerCase().split("\\W+");
> 		for (String token : tokens) {
> 			if (token.length() > 0) {
> 				out.collect(new Tuple2<String, Integer>(token, 1));
> 			}
>  		}
> 	}
> }
> {code}
> I added call to "returns(....)" here:
> {code:java}
> DataSet<Tuple2<String, Integer>> counts =
>   text.flatMap(new Tokenizer()).returns("Tuple2<String,Integer>")
>   .groupBy(0).sum(1);
> {code}
> The exception is:
> {noformat}
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The types of the interface org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.FlatMapFunction could not be inferred. Support for synthetic interfaces, lambdas, and generic types is limited at this point.
>  	at org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.TypeExtractor.getParameterType(TypeExtractor.java:686)
>  	at org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.TypeExtractor.getParameterTypeFromGenericType(TypeExtractor.java:710)

>  	at org.apache.flink.examples.java.wordcount.WordCount.main(WordCount.java:69)
> {noformat}
> Fix:
> This should not immediately fail, but also only give a
> "MissingTypeInfo" so that type hints would work.
> The error message is also wrong, btw: It should state that raw types are
> not supported.
