This function can be removed, right?
> Add forward field annotations to DataSet operators generated by the Table API
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-3850
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3850
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: Nikolay Vasilishin
>
> The DataSet API features semantic annotations [1] to hint the optimizer which
> input fields an operator copies. 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.
