Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-7060:
--------------------------------------
TypeInformation are often used in programs to specify types but their methods
are usually called by Flink and not for user code.
The class was annotated with Public to indicate users can use this class and
that it won't be removed in future releases. The internals are not protected
from future changes.
> Change annotation in TypeInformation subclasses

> Key: FLINK-7060
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7060
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Type Serialization System
> Reporter: Kostas Kloudas
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently many subclasses of the {{TypeInformation}} are annotated as
> {{Public}} but all their methods are {{PublicEvolving}}. As an example, you
> can check out the {{GenericTypeInfo}}.
> It would be clearer if the whole class was annotated with {{PublicEvolving}}
> instead of {{Public}} and have all the methods without annotations.
