> PojoSerializer does not check field types when being deserialized

> Key: FLINK-6799
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6799
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: API / Type Serialization System
> Affects Versions: 1.1.5, 1.2.1, 1.3.0, 1.4.0

> The {{PojoSerializer}} stores internally the fields of a pojo as {{Field}}
> instances. These field instances are serialized via the {{FieldSerializer}}.
> The {{FieldSerializer}} simply writes out the name of the field. When being
> deserialized, the serializer reads the name and then looks up the field using
> the dynamically loaded class. If the underlying class changes, e.g. type of
> fields change, then this won't be noticed, because we don't check the field
> types. In order to catch errors early and to give meaningful error messages,
> I think we should add type checks for the reloaded fields.
