    OK, I see. How about we extend the InputFormat to implement the 
`ResultTypeQueryable` interface and let users either specify all field types or 
at least the number of result attributes via the `JDBCInputFormatBuilder`.
    Then we do not have to fall back to the KryoSerializer that does creates 
corrupt `Row` objects and users do not have to specify types in the 
`env.createInput()` method.
