[jira] [Updated] (FLINK-6888) Can not determine TypeInformation of ACC type of AggregateFunction when ACC is a Scala case/tuple class

["Jark Wu (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6888?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jark Wu updated FLINK-6888:
---------------------------
    Description: 
Currently the {{ACC}} TypeInformation of {{org.apache.flink.table.functions.AggregateFunction[T, ACC]}} is extracted using {{TypeInformation.of(Class)}}. When {{ACC}} is a Scala case class or tuple class, the TypeInformation will fall back to {{GenericType}} which result in bad performance when state de/serialization. 

I suggest to extract the ACC TypeInformation when called {{TableEnvironment.registerFunction()}}.

Here is an example:

{code}
case class Accumulator(sum: Long, count: Long)

class MyAgg extends AggregateFunction[Long, Accumulator] {

  //Overloaded accumulate method
  def accumulate(acc: Accumulator, value: Long): Unit = {
  }

  override def createAccumulator(): Accumulator = Accumulator(0, 0)

  override def getValue(accumulator: Accumulator): Long = 1
}
{code}

The {{Accumulator}} will be recognized as {{GenericType<Accumulator>}}.
