Rong Rong updated FLINK-15475:
------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently there's no way to "peek" into a `Transformation` object and see if 
`typeUsed` has been set or not. The only way is to invoke the `setOutputType` 
API and wrap around it with a try-catch block similar to:

{code:java}
try {
  (SingleOutputStreamOperator)dataStream
    .returns(myOutputType);
} catch (ValidationException ex) {
  // ... handle exception when type has been used.
}
{code}


It would be nice if we have a `isTypeUsed()` or `isOutputTypeUsed()` API to 
check whether a particular transformation has a definitive output type set / 
used or not.
