---------------------------------------
Summary: Kinesis SQL Connector
Key: FLINK-18858
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18858
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Waldemar Hummer
Hi all,
as far as I can see in the [list of
connectors|https://github.com/apache/flink/tree/master/flink-connectors], we
have a
{{[flink-connector-kinesis|https://github.com/apache/flink/tree/master/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kinesis]}}
for *programmatic access* to Kinesis streams, but there does not yet seem to
exist a *Kinesis SQL connector* (something like
{{flink-sql-connector-kinesis}}, analogous to {{flink-sql-connector-kafka}}).
Our use case would be to enable SQL queries with direct access to Kinesis
sources (and potentially sinks), to enable something like the following Flink
SQL queries:
{code:java}
$ bin/sql-client.sh embedded
...
Flink SQL> CREATE TABLE Orders(`user` string, amount int, rowtime TIME) WITH
('connector' = 'kinesis', ...);
...
Flink SQL> SELECT * FROM Orders ...;
...{code}
I was wondering if this is something that has been considered, or is already
actively being worked on? If one of you can provide some guidance, we may be
able to work on a PoC implementation to add this functionality.
Thanks!
