             Summary: Support (*) as parameter of table UserDefinedFunction 
                 Key: FLINK-22451
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-22451
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Yi Tang


For now, one can use star (*) to act as a wild card, selecting all of the 
columns in the table.
{code}
Table result = orders.select($("*"));
{code}

When one use a star (*) as parameter of an UDF, it will fail 
{{ReferenceResolverRule}} in on 
{code}
"Cannot resolve field [*], input field list:[...]."
{code}

The cause is that, the parameter of an UDF is not expanded in 
{{StarReferenceFlatteningRule}}

I think we can support to expand the star parameter to the real fields list if 
it is the only parameter of the UDF.

then the parameters can be received by 
{code}
eval(@DataTypeHint(inputGroup = InputGroup.ANY) Object... row)
{code}
