Class RichGroupReduceFunction<IN,OUT>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.AbstractRichFunction

org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.RichGroupReduceFunction<IN,OUT>

Type Parameters:

IN - Type of the elements that this function processes.

OUT - The type of the elements returned by the user-defined function.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Function, GroupReduceFunction<IN,OUT>, RichFunction

@Public
public abstract class RichGroupReduceFunction<IN,OUT>
extends AbstractRichFunction
implements GroupReduceFunction<IN,OUT>

Rich variant of the GroupReduceFunction. As a RichFunction, it gives access to the RuntimeContext and provides setup and teardown methods: RichFunction.open(org.apache.flink.configuration.Configuration) and RichFunction.close(). Partial computation can significantly improve the performance of a RichGroupReduceFunction. This technique is also known as applying a Combiner. Implement the GroupCombineFunction interface to enable partial computation, i.e., a combiner for this RichGroupReduceFunction.
