ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-9852: --------------------------------------- Github user twalthr commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/6343 Thank you for your suggestions @pnowojski. I hope I could address most of them in the new commits. I improved the code duplication a bit and `ExternalCatalogTable` is immutable now with a proper builder. > Expose descriptor-based sink creation in table environments > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-9852 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9852 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Table API & SQL > Affects Versions: 1.6.0 > Reporter: Timo Walther > Assignee: Timo Walther > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > > Currently, only a table source can be created using the unified table > descriptors with {{tableEnv.from(...)}}. A similar approach should be > supported for defining sinks or even both types at the same time. > I suggest the following syntax: > {code} > tableEnv.connect(Kafka(...)).registerSource("name") > tableEnv.connect(Kafka(...)).registerSink("name") > tableEnv.connect(Kafka(...)).registerSourceAndSink("name") > {code} > A table could then access the registered source/sink. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
