--------------------------------
Hi [~twalthr], could you explain this issue a little more detail ? What is the
{{myLong.getType}} return type, a String or Expression ?
> Add an expression that returns the return type of an expression

> Key: FLINK-4605
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4605
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Timo Walther
>
> Esp. for Java users of the Table API it is hard to obtain the return type of
> an expression. I propose to implement an expression that returns the type of
> an input expression as a string.
> {{myLong.getType()}} could call the toString method of TypeInformation.
> This could also be useful to distinguish between different subtypes of POJOs
> etc.
