Hi everyone,
Dawid and I are working on making parts of ExecutionConfig and
TableConfig configurable via config options. This is necessary to make
all properties also available in SQL. Additionally, with the new SQL DDL
based on properties as well as more connectors and formats coming up,
unified configuration becomes more important.
We need more features around string-based configuration in the future,
which is why Dawid and I would like to propose FLIP-54 for evolving the
ConfigOption and Configuration classes:

In summary it adds:
- documented types and validation
- more common types such as memory size, duration, list
- simple non-nested object types
Looking forward to your feedback,
Timo
