Hi, Flink's Table API is pretty close to what SQL provides. IMO, the best approach would be to leverage that and build a SQL parser (maybe together with a logical optimizer) on top of the Table API. Parser (and optimizer) could be built using Apache Calcite which is providing exactly this.
Since the Table API is still a fairly new component and not very feature rich, it might make sense to extend and strengthen it before putting something major on top.
