Hi Gabor,

great that you already try out PTFs. I'm in the process of writing documentation for it. Including a list of limitations.

Please note that PTF won't be support in batch mode in the first phase. For stateful PTFs we would need to use a batch state backend and also other code paths around time need to be adjusted.

Cheers,
Timo

I think it is by design. You can read the FLIP, it says:

*Time Semantics*:

    -

    PTFs support event-time semantics only.
    -

    Processing-time doesn’t go well with batch mode and thus a unified API
    should built on event-time.
    The proposed onWatermark timers allow for making processing nevertheless
    and key-independent. An onWatermark should cover most processing time use
    cases.


But I think if the PTF doesn't implement the `onTime` method, it means the
function doesn't care about the time. In this case, we can just
convert directly in batch mode.

Best,
Shengkai

Hi All,

Seems like the process table function scan operation is not supported in
batch mode.
Steps to repro [1] which gives the following exception:

Caused by: org.apache.flink.table.api.TableException: Unsupported function
for scan:PROCESS_TABLE

Is this something which is planned?
