Fabian Hueske created FLINK-3851: ------------------------------------ Summary: Add interface to register external catalogs in the TableEnvironment Key: FLINK-3851 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3851 Project: Flink Issue Type: New Feature Components: Table API Reporter: Fabian Hueske
The {{TableEnvironment}} holds an internal table catalog to provide SQL and Table API queries access to structured data. At the moment, DataSets, DataStreams, and TableSources which refer to external tables can be registered as tables. This issue proposes to implement an interface to connect external catalogs such as Hive's HCatalog or Confluent's SchemaRegistry for Apache Kafka to the {{TableEnvironment}}. With this interface, it should be possible to look-up and access tables which are registered in external catalogs. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
