             Summary: Added ResultTypeQueryable interface to 
TypeSerializerInputFormat.
                 Key: FLINK-1464
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1464
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Distributed Runtime, Optimizer
    Affects Versions: 0.8, 0.9, 0.8.1
            Reporter: Alexander Alexandrov
            Assignee: Alexander Alexandrov
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.9, 0.8.1


It is currently impossible to use the {{TypeSerializerInputFormat}} with 
generic Tuple types.

For example, [this example 
gist|https://gist.github.com/aalexandrov/90bf21f66bf604676f37] fails with a

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.flink.api.common.InvalidProgramException: 
The type returned by the input format could not be automatically determined. 
Please specify the TypeInformation of the produced type explicitly.

exaception. 

To fix the issue, I changed the constructor to take a {{TypeInformation<T>}} 
instad of a {{TypeSerializer<T>}} argument. If this is indeed a bug, I think 
that this is a good solution. 

Unfortunately the fix breaks the API. Feel free to change it if you find a more 
elegant solution compatible with the 0.8 branch.

The suggested fix can be found in the GitHub 
[PR#349|https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/349].
