-----------------------------------
Summary: Make first level flattening optional for input and output
Key: FLINK-8185
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8185
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Table API & SQL
Reporter: Timo Walther
When converting a {{DataSet}}/{{DataStream}} into a table. A composite type is
automatically flattened to a row of fields, e.g. {{MyPojo<String, String>}}
becomes {{Row<String, String>}}. There is no possibility to keep
{{Row<MyPojo<String, String>>}}. This would be especially interesting for POJOs
that should not be flattened and be converted back to the same type:
{{toTable[MyPojo]}}.
At the moment a user has to specify all fields in order to get the same
behavior.
