| /** |
| * Base interface for Map functions. Map functions take elements and transform them, |
| * element wise. A Map function always produces a single result element for each input element. |
| * Typical applications are parsing elements, converting data types, or projecting out fields. |
| * Operations that produce multiple result elements from a single input element can be implemented |
| * using the {@link FlatMapFunction}. |
| * <p> |
| * The basic syntax for using a MapFunction is as follows: |
| * <pre>{@code |
| * DataSet<X> input = ...; |
| * |
| * DataSet<Y> result = input.map(new MyMapFunction()); |
| * }</pre> |
| * |
| * @param <T> Type of the input elements. |
| * @param <O> Type of the returned elements. |
