+/**
+ * These classes encapsulate the logic of accessing a field specified by
the user as either an index
+ * or a field expression string. TypeInformation can also be requested for
the field.
+ * The position index might specify a field of a Tuple, an array, or a
simple type (only "0th field").
+ *
+ * Field expressions that specify nested fields (e.g. "f1.a.foo") result
in nested field accessors.
+ * These penetrate one layer, and then delegate the rest of the work to an
"innerAccesor".

`FieldAccessor` was `@Internal` before.
Why changing it to `@PublicEvolving`?
> DataStream API PojoFieldAccessor doesn't support nested POJOs
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-3702
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3702
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DataStream API
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Robert Metzger
> Assignee: Gabor Gevay
>
> The {{PojoFieldAccessor}} (which is used by {{.sum(String)}} and similar
> methods) doesn't support nested POJOs right now.
> As part of FLINK-3697 I'll add a check for a nested POJO and fail with an
> exception.
