Hi,

I notice that our type system has two branches. OneĀ  is TypeInformation while the other is
DataType. It is said that Table API will use DataType but there are several questions about
this statement:

1. Will TypeInformation be deprecated and we use DataType as type system everywhere?
2. Schema in Table API currently support only TypeInformation to register a field, shall we support
the DataType way as well?

Best,
tison.
