Hi, I think the problem is that the case class has generic parameters. You can try making TypeInformation for those parameters implicitly available at the call site, i.e:
implicit val typeT = createTypeInformation[T] // where you insert the specific type for T and do the same for the other generic parameters Maybe this helps.
