This information is valuable for the > optimizer because it can infer that certain physical properties such as > partitioning or sorting are not destroyed by user functions and thus generate > more efficient execution plans. > The Table API is built on top of the DataSet API and generates DataSet > programs and code for user-defined functions. Hence, it knows exactly which > fields are modified and which not. We should use this information to > automatically generate forward field annotations and attach them to the > operators. This can help to significantly improve the performance of certain > jobs. > [1] > https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.0/apis/batch/index.html#semantic-annotations -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
