Yes, because we try to create type information from the input in this 
method. This only works if a type variable connects input with output. 
`Map, OutType>`

A TypeInformation is created here only with factories of parameterized 
types?

What is the reason for the empty no-arg constructor?

You are right, "it doesn't have to contain..." would be better. What I 
wanted to say is: It is also ok to just supply partial type information for 
generic parameters (so returning an empty map is always acceptable).

What is meant by "it must not contain all generic parameters as key"?

Minor nitpick: Most code styles (through not enforced here) put all static

I would prefer to not use raw types unless really necessary. Can't you use 
`TypeInformation`?

[FLINK-3042] [FLINK-3060] [types] Define a way to let types create their 
own TypeInformation

Thanks for contributing to Apache Flink. Before you open your pull request, 
please take the following check list into consideration.
If your changes take all of the items into account, feel free to open your 
pull request. For more information and/or questions please refer to the [How To 
Contribute guide](http://flink.apache.org/how-to-contribute.html).
In addition to going through the list, please provide a meaningful 
description of your changes.

- [x] General
  - The pull request references the related JIRA issue ("[FLINK-XXX] Jira 
title text")
  - The pull request addresses only one issue
  - Each commit in the PR has a meaningful commit message (including the 
JIRA id)

- [ ] Documentation
  - Documentation has been added for new functionality
  - Old documentation affected by the pull request has been updated
  - JavaDoc for public methods has been added

- [x] Tests & Build
  - Functionality added by the pull request is covered by tests
  - `mvn clean verify` has been executed successfully locally or a Travis 
build has passed

This PR introduces so-called `TypeInfoFactory`s. A type information factory 
allows for plugging-in user-defined TypeInformation into the Flink type system. 
The factory is called during the type extraction phase if the corresponding 
type has been annotated with `TypeInfo` or registered globally using 
`TypeExtractor.registerFactory(Type, Class)`.
In a hierarchy of types the closest factory will be chosen while traversing 
upwards, however, a globally registered factory has highest precedence.

Although this PR further increases the complexity of the `TypeExtractor`. 
`TypeInfoFactory`s could simplify the code in future. We could implement 
factories for all Flink built-in types and thus split up the extraction code 
into type specific factories.

I haven't updated the doc yet. I will add documentation after I got 
feedback.
