Haohui Mai created FLINK-6574: --------------------------------- Summary: External catalog should support a single level catalog Key: FLINK-6574 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6574 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Table API & SQL Reporter: Haohui Mai Assignee: Haohui Mai Fix For: 1.3.0
We found out that the current external catalog requires three layers of references for any tables. For example, the SQL would look like the following when referencing external table: {noformat} SELECT * FROM catalog.db.table {noformat} It would be great to support only two layers of indirections which is closer to many of the deployment on Presto / Hive today. {noformat} SELECT * FROM db.table {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
