+ * A Row has no limited length and contain a set of fields, which may all
be different types.
+ * Because Row is not strongly typed, Flink's type extraction mechanism
can't extract correct field
+ * types. So that users should manually tell Flink the type information
via creating a
+ * {@link RowTypeInfo}.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * The fields in the Row may be accessed by position (zero-based) {@link
#getField(int)}. And can
+ * set fields by {@link #setField(int, Object)}.
+ * <p>
+ * Row is in principle serializable. However, it may contain
non-serializable fields,
+ * in which case serialization will fail.
