Rich vs normal functions

[Flavio Pompermaier]

Hi flinkers,

I have a simple question for you that I wanted to ask since the beginning of Flink: is there really the need to separate Rich and normal operators? Why not keeping just the rich version?

Best,

Flavio

These reason is that the non-rich function interfaces are SAM (single abstract method) interfaces.

In Java 8, SAM interfaces can be specified as concise lambda functions.

Cheers, Fabian
