-----------------------------------

             Summary: Limit usage of Row type
                 Key: FLINK-7380
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7380
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: DataSet API, DataStream API
            Reporter: Timo Walther
            Assignee: Timo Walther


The recently introduced {{Row}} type causes a lot of confusion for users. By default they are serialized using Kryo. We should not allow to use {{GenericTypeInfo<Row>}}. The TypeExtractor should throw an exception and encourage to provide proper field types. The Row class should be final and only targeted for intended use cases.
