I can see this working for basic types, but am unsure how it would work
with Tuples. Wouldn't the java API still need to know the arity to setup
serializers?

I believe it should be possible to create a special PythonTypeInfo where
the python side is responsible for serializing data to a byte array and to
the java side it is just a byte array and all the comparisons are also
performed on these byte arrays. I think partitioning and sort should still
work, since the sorting is (in most cases) only used to group the elements
for a groupBy(). If proper sort order would be required this would have to
be done on the python side.

With "pure python" do you mean doing everything in python? as in just
having serialized data on the java side?
I believe the way to do this with Flink is to add a switch that
a) disables all type checks
b) creates serializers dynamically at runtime.
a) should be fairly straight forward, b) on the other hand....
btw., the Python API itself doesn't require the type information, it
already does the b part.

What would we need to change to make this work with pure python (as it
seems to be possible)? This probably have large performance implications
though.

because it still goes through the Java API that requires some kind of
type information. imagine a java api program where you omit all generic
types, it just wouldn't work as of now.

Hey!
Could anyone briefly tell me what exactly is the reason why we force
the
users in the Python API to declare types for operators?
I don't really understand how this works in different systems but I am
just
curious why Flink has types and why Spark doesn't for instance.
If you give me some pointers to read that would also be fine :)
Thank you,
