Fabian Hueske created FLINK-8179: ------------------------------------ Summary: Convert CharSequence to String when registering / converting a Table Key: FLINK-8179 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8179 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Table API & SQL Affects Versions: 1.5.0 Reporter: Fabian Hueske
Avro objects store text values as `java.lang.CharSequence`. Right now, these fields are treated as `ANY` type by Calcite (`GenericType` by Flink). So, importing a `DataStream` or `DataSet` of Avro objects results in Table where the text values cannot be used as String fields. We should convert `CharSequence` fields to `String` when importing / converting to a Table. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
