[FLINK-6563] [table] Add time indicator support to KafkaTableSource. ## What is the purpose of the change Add support for time indicators (processing time, ingestion time, event time) for Kafka table sources that extend `KafkaTableSource`. The PR adds the following methods: - `addProcTimeAttribute(String proctime)`: adds a processing time attribute to the table - `addIngestionTimeAttribute(String ingestionTime)`: adds an ingestion time attribute to the table - `setAscendingRowTimeAttribute(String rowtime)`: sets an existing attribute to be the row time attribute and automatically assigns watermarks for monotonically increasing attributes. - `setBoundedOutOfOrderRowtimeAttribute(String rowtime, long watermarkDelay)`: sets an existing attribute to be the row time attribute and automatically assigns watermarks with a specified fixed delay. So, event-time is currently only supported for ascending timestamps and timestamps which are out-of-order by a fixed delay. ## Brief change log - `KafkaTableSource` implements `DefinedProcTimeAttribute` and `DefinedRowTimeAttribute` interfaces. - Added methods to set different time attributes. - Added tests to validate the time attribute methods. ## Verifying this change - added `KafkaTableSource` test. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): **no** - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: **no** - The serializers: **no** - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): **no** - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: **no** ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? **yes** - If yes, how is the feature documented? **NOT YET** You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/fhueske/flink tableKafkaTime Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4638.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #4638 ---- commit ba6385b1f8c546221c716e44e2d8f9a9fac5a05a Author: Fabian Hueske <fhue...@apache.org> Date: 2017-08-31T12:35:41Z [FLINK-6563] [table] Add time indicator support to KafkaTableSource. ---- ---
