Ruidong Li updated FLINK-6457:
------------------------------
    Description: 
Motivation:
Some methods in ScalarFunction and TableFunction are unnecessary, e.g 
toString() and getResultType in ScalarFunction
this issue intend to clear the interface.
Goal:
 only methods related to `Collector` will remain in TableFunction interface, 
and ScalarFunction interface shall have no methods , user can choose whether to 
implement the `getResultType` method, which will be called by reflection, and 
the Flink document will have instructions for user.
Future:
There should be some Annotations for user to implement methods like `@Eval` for 
eval method, it be will in the next issue
