Hello,

 

I am utilizing the code snippet in: https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/apis/streaming/state.html and particularly ‘open’ function in my code:

@Override

    public void open(Configuration config) {

        ValueStateDescriptor<Tuple2<Long, Long>> descriptor =

                new ValueStateDescriptor<>(

                        "average", // the state name

                        TypeInformation.of(new TypeHint<Tuple2<Long, Long>>() {}), // type information

                        Tuple2.of(0L, 0L)); // default value of the state, if nothing was set

        sum = getRuntimeContext().getState(descriptor);

    }

 

When I run, I get the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error while getting state

Where do I define the key & value serializer for state?

 

Thanks,
