> 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.
