ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-8866: --------------------------------------- Github user twalthr commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/6201 I agree with @fhueske. Let's do the `from-source` in a follow-up issue. I will open a PR soon for FLINK-8558 which separates connector and format. For this I also introduced a method `KafkaTableSource#supportsKafkaTimestamps`. The `KafkaTableFactory` can read this property and throw an exception accordingly. > Create unified interfaces to configure and instatiate TableSinks > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-8866 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8866 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Table API & SQL > Reporter: Timo Walther > Assignee: Shuyi Chen > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > > Similar to the efforts done in FLINK-8240. We need unified ways to configure > and instantiate TableSinks. Among other applications, this is necessary in > order to declare table sinks in an environment file of the SQL client. Such > that the sink can be used for {{INSERT INTO}} statements. > Below are a few major changes in mind. > 1) Add TableSinkFactory/TableSinkFactoryService similar to > TableSourceFactory/TableSourceFactoryService > 2) Add a common property called "type" with values (source, sink and both) > for both TableSource and TableSink. > 3) in yaml file, replace "sources" with "tables", and use tableType to > identify whether it's source or sink. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
