Till Rohrmann created FLINK-2684: ------------------------------------ Summary: Make TypeInformation non-serializable again by removing Table API's need for it Key: FLINK-2684 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2684 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Table API Reporter: Till Rohrmann Priority: Minor
Currently, the {{TypeInformations}} must be serializable because they are shipped with UDFs of the Table API to the TMs. There the Table API code is generated and compiled. By generating the code on the client and shipping the code as strings, we could get rid of this dependency. As a consequence, the {{TypeInformations}} can be non-serializable again, as they were intended to be. Maybe [~aljoscha] can provide some more implementation details here. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
