[jira] [Created] (FLINK-1273) Add the "Void" type to the basic types.

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

             Summary: Add the "Void" type to the basic types.
                 Key: FLINK-1273
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1273
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Java API, Scala API
    Affects Versions: 0.8-incubating
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 0.8-incubating


We should at the void type (as represented by {{void.class}} and {java.lang.Void.class}} to the basic types. The void type would have a one byte serializer (I think zero bytes would not work if someone uses void as an isolated data type). Void could be comparable - all instances would be equal.
