twalthr opened a new pull request #14714:
URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/14714


   ## What is the purpose of the change
   
   ```
   /**
    * Example for implementing more complex {@link UserDefinedFunction}s.
    *
    * <p>In many use cases, function signatures can be reflectively extracted 
from a UDF class. The
    * annotations {@link DataTypeHint} and {@link FunctionHint} help if 
reflective information is not
    * enough and needs to be enriched with further logical details. Check the 
website documentation as
    * well as the docs of {@link ScalarFunction}, {@link TableFunction}, and 
{@link AggregateFunction}
    * for more information.
    *
    * <p>Both reflective extraction and annotations are suitable for function 
signatures with fixed
    * input and output types. However, for advanced use cases it might be 
required to derive an output
    * type from one of the argument types or perform stricter validation.
    *
    * <p>This example demonstrates various UDF implementations. We are 
executing multiple Flink jobs
    * where the result is written to stdout.
