             Summary: Make TypeInformation non-serializable again by removing Table API's need for it
                 Key: FLINK-2684
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2684
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Table API
            Reporter: Till Rohrmann
            Priority: Minor


Currently, the {{TypeInformations}} must be serializable because they are shipped with UDFs of the Table API to the TMs. There the Table API code is generated and compiled. By generating the code on the client and shipping the code as strings, we could get rid of this dependency. As a consequence, the {{TypeInformations}} can be non-serializable again, as they were intended to be.

Maybe [~aljoscha] can provide some more implementation details here.
