Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-7446: -------------------------------------- I think the existing {{DefinedRowtimeAttribute}} interface can be used for that as well. If the field name returned by {{DefinedRowtimeAttribute.getRowtimeAttribute()}} is included in the field names returned by {{TableSource}} we can use the existing field as time indicator attribute. > Support to define an existing field as the rowtime field for TableSource > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-7446 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7446 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Table API & SQL > Reporter: Jark Wu > > Currently {{DefinedRowtimeAttribute}} can define an appended rowtime field > for a {{TableSource}}. But it would be helpful if we can support to define an > existing field as the rowtime field. Just like registering a DataStream, the > rowtime field can be appended but also can replace an existing field. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
