Timo Walther created FLINK-5677:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Validation layer should check whether field can be used as grouping key
Key: FLINK-5677
URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5677 Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Table API & SQL
Reporter: Timo Walther
When grouping on a GenericType (e.g. {{Object}}). The validation layer does no checking of types. The {{groupBy/keyBy}} of DataSet/DataStream API throws the exception. The validation layer should check this before.
{code}
public static class OuterPojo {
public Object object = new Object();
}
tEnv.sql("SELECT testing.object FROM testing GROUP BY testing.object")
{code}
leads to
{code}
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.flink.api.common.InvalidProgramException: This type (GenericType<java.lang.Object>) cannot be used as key.
