Hi, Thanks for the clarification Fabian - it is really useful. I agree that we should consolidate the module and avoid the need to further maintain 3 different "projects". It does make sense to see the current (I would call it)"Stream SQL" as a table with append semantics. However, one thing that should be clarified is what is the best way from the implementation point of view to keep the state of the table (if we can actually keep it - though the need is clear for supporting retraction). As the input is a stream and the table is append of course we run in the classical infinite issue that streams have. What should be the approach? Should we consider keeping the data in something like the statebackend now for windows, and then pushing them to the disk (e.g., like FSStateBackends). Perhaps with the disk we can at least enlarge the horizon of what we keep. I will give some comments and some thoughts in the document about this.

I don't think it is a good idea to implement and maintain 3 different relational APIs with possibly varying semantics. Actually, you can see the current status of the Table API / SQL on stream as a subset of the proposed semantics. Right now, all streams are implicitly converted into Tables with APPEND semantics. The currently supported operations (selection, filter, union, group windows) return streams. The only thing that would change for these operations would be the output mode to be retraction mode by default in order to be able to emit updated records (e.g., updated aggregates due to late records). The document is not final and we can of course discuss the proposal.
