+/**
+ * Converter between Flink types and Iceberg type.
+ * The conversion is not a 1:1 mapping that not allows back-and-forth 
conversion. So some information might get lost
+ * during the back-and-forth conversion.

Review comment:
       Can you be more specific about this? What is a case where information is 
lost?
