/**
  * The [[DefinedFieldMapping]] interface provides a mapping for the fields of the table schema

  * [[TableSource.getReturnType]] of a [[TableSource]].
  *
  * If a [[TableSource]] does not implement the [[DefinedFieldMapping]] interface, the fields of
  * its [[TableSchema]] are mapped to the fields of its return type [[TypeInformation]] by name.
  *
  * If the fields cannot or should not be implicitly mapped by name, an explicit mapping can be
  * provided by implementing this interface.
  * If a mapping is provided, all fields must be explicitly mapped.

  /**
    * Returns the mapping for the fields of the [[TableSource]]'s [[TableSchema]] to the fields of
    * its return type [[TypeInformation]].
    *
    * The mapping is done based on field names, e.g., a mapping "name" -> "f1" maps the schema field
    * "name" to the field "f1" of the return type, for example in this case the second field of a
    * [[org.apache.flink.api.java.tuple.Tuple]].
    *
    * The returned mapping must map all fields (except proctime and rowtime fields) to the return
    * type. It can also provide a mapping for fields which are not in the [[TableSchema]] to make
    * fields in the physical [[TypeInformation]] accessible for a [[TimestampExtractor]].
    *
    * @return A mapping from [[TableSchema]] fields to [[TypeInformation]] fields or
    *         null if no mapping is necessary.
