> When dealing with mutable objects, users might find it convenient to have access to a `TypeSerializer` to create copies or even de/serialize their objects within a UDF call.
> Since the new Java API needs to figure out how to do that anyways, we could provide UDFs with a serializer and make it available to the user through a method like 
> ```java
> private TypeSerializer<MyUdfInputType> getInputTypeSerializer()
> ```
> What do you think?
