Sebastian Kruse commented on FLINK-1117:
----------------------------------------
I actually still use the records. To me they seem very useful when you have to
process "tuples" but do not know the arity of that tuples at coding time. I
encounter this when profiling arbitrary CSV files.
Tuples have not been an alternative so far, as they only take 25 fields max.
and moreover (but I am not completely sure) there have been issues when using
the abstract {{Tuple}} class as {{DataSet}} type parameter.
