HI All, I'd like to start a discussion on FLIP-463: Schema Definition in CREATE TABLE AS Statement [1]
The proposal extends the CTAS statement to allow users to define their own schema by adding columns, primary and partition keys, and table distribution to the CREATE statement. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks, - Sergio Pena [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-463%3A+Schema+Definition+in+CREATE+TABLE+AS+Statement
