> Fix For: 0.9
>
>
> The Java compiler is not able to infer the return type of the {{project}}
> operator and defaults to {{Tuple}}. This can cause problems if another
> operator is immediately called on the result of a {{project}} operator such
> as:
> {code}
> DataSet<Tuple5<String,String,String,String,String>> ds = ....
> DataSet<Tuple1<String>> ds2 = ds.project(0).distinct(0);
> {code}
> This problem can be overcome by hinting the return type of {{project}} like
> this:
> {code}
> DataSet<Tuple1<String>> ds2 = ds.<Tuple1<String>project(0).distinct(0);
> {code}
> We should add this description to the documentation of the project operator.
