> Adapt CollectionInputFormat to work with non-serializable objects
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-826
> URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-826> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: GitHub Import
> Labels: github-import
> Fix For: 0.6-incubating
>
>
> Right now, the `CollectionInputFormat` requires the objects to be serializable because the `CollectionInputFormat` object is shipped using standard Java serialization.
> Since Stratosphere's Java API does not in general require data types to be serializable, we should try to get around that for the `CollectionInputFormat` as well.
> Therefore, we should change the `CollectionInputFormat` such that the data objects are serialized using the `TypeSerializer`.
