Hi community, It's a long time since we started the discussion of supporting view in FLINK SQL. Flink also continues to move forward since then. FLINK-10232 introduces the grammar and FLINK-12905 supports CatalogView in blink planner. The missing link is validate the view definition and store the original/expanded text in the catalog. I have updated the design doc of FLIP-71, https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-71%3A+E2E+View+support+in+FLINK+SQL
Any comments and feedbacks are welcome and appreciated. Thanks. *Best Regards,* *Zhenghua Gao* On Tue, Sep 17, 2019 at 11:51 AM Zhenghua Gao <doc...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi folks, > > In umbrella task FLINK-10232 we have introduced CREATE/DROP VIEW grammar > in our module flink-sql-parser.
