[Shang Yuanchun (Jira)]

Chesnay Schepler created FLINK-11694:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Enforce space before left curly brace
                 Key: FLINK-11694
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11694
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Checkstyle
            Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
            Assignee: Chesnay Schepler
             Fix For: 1.8.0


We currently don't enforce spaces before left curly brace (\{), as a result of which the following code block would not raise any error:
{code}
void someMethod(){
                if (someCondition){
                        try {
                                ...
                        } catch (Exception e){
                                ...
                        }
                }
}
{code}

It is not the aim of this JIRA to forbid {} as a shorthand for empty bodies, such as:
{code}
new TypeHint<Tuple2<String, Integer>>(){}
{code}
