slinkydeveloper opened a new pull request #17906: URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/17906
## What is the purpose of the change [FLINK-24399](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-24399) introduced new methods to perform data types projections in `DataType`. **Note**: no release included such changes. [FLINK-24776](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-24776) introduced a new, more powerful, type to perform operations on projections, that is project types, but also difference and complement. In spite of avoiding to provide different entrypoints for the same functionality, this PR cleanups the new methods introduced by FLINK-24399 and replaces them with the new `Projection` type. It also deprecates the old methods in `DataTypeUtils` for cleanup in future releases. ## Brief change log * Replace every usage of `DataType#projectFields` and `DataTypeUtils#projectRow` with the new `Projection` type * Remove `DataType#projectFields` * Deprecate `DataTypeUtils#projectRow` ## Verifying this change This change is a trivial rework / code cleanup without any test coverage. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): no - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: no - The serializers: no - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): no - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Kubernetes/Yarn, ZooKeeper: no - The S3 file system connector: no ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? no - If yes, how is the feature documented? not applicable -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
