[Shang Yuanchun (Jira)]

Fabian Hueske created FLINK-3254:
------------------------------------

             Summary: CombineFunction interface not respected
                 Key: FLINK-3254
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3254
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: DataSet API
    Affects Versions: 0.10.1, 1.0.0
            Reporter: Fabian Hueske
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 1.0.0


The DataSet API offers a {{CombineFunction}} interface, which differs from the {{GroupCombineFunction}} interface by being restricted to return a single value instead of returning arbitrary many values through a {{Collector}}.
The JavaDocs of the {{GroupCombineFunction}} point to the {{CombineFunction}} interface, advertising it as more efficient.

However, the {{CombineFunction}} interface is nor respected by Flink, i.e., a {{GroupReduceFunction}} that implements this interface is executed without leveraging the combine method.
