Rong Rong updated FLINK-9294:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
Most of the UDF function signatures that includes composite types such as 
*{{MAP}}*, *{{ARRAY}}*, etc would require user to override 
*{{getParameterType}}* or *{{getResultType}}* method explicitly. 

It should be able to resolve the composite type based on the function 
signature, such as:

{code:java}
public String[] eval(Map<String, Integer> mapArg) { /* ...  */ }
{code}
should either 
1. Automatically resolve that:
- *{{ObjectArrayTypeInfo<BasicTypeInfo.STRING>}}* to be the result type.
- *{{MapTypeInfo<BasicTypeInfo.STRING, BasicTypeInfo.INTEGER>}}*  to be the 
parameter type.
2. Improved function mapping to find and locate function with such signatures.
