Class TypeInference

java.lang.Object

org.apache.flink.table.types.inference.TypeInference

@PublicEvolving
public final class TypeInference
extends Object

Provides logic for the type inference of function calls. It includes:

• explicit input specification for (possibly named and/or typed) arguments
• inference of missing or incomplete input types
• validation of input types
• inference of an intermediate accumulation type
• inference of the final output type

See TypeInferenceUtil for more information about the type inference process.
