I see the issue with the non-deterministic field order and FLINK-1665 as
follows. Both, FLINK-1665 and Option 3, solve the problem of non-deterministic
field order.
- FLINK-1665 by specifying the order in the POJO using annoations.
- Option 3 by forcing the user to explicitly specify the field order.
While we don't have FLINK-1665 implemented, I would go with Option 3. Once
we have FLINK-1665 we could relax it for POJOs with `@Position` annotations.
