> When Flink is trying to analyze the POJO, the {{getAllDeclaredFields}} method fails with a RuntimeException. When the user is using a different class that contains the POJO, it just uses the GenericTypeInfo which is able to serialize the type.
> I think we need to throw a InvalidTypesException in the {{getAllDeclaredFields}} method to fix the issue
