Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-10120: --------------------------------------- Thanks for reporting the issue, I did not fully understand the problem though. The types that you show in the description are different and not compatible. Is the problem that {{TypeStringUtils.readTypeInfo()}} does not support Array types? If that is the case, could you please update the issue description to make that more clear? Thank you, Fabian > Support string representation for types like array > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-10120 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10120 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Type Serialization System > Reporter: buptljy > Priority: Minor > > Now we have to use row type to replace array type when we want to create a > table schema or format schema with nested types. For example, we have to use > {code:java} > Types.ROW( > new String[]{"a", "b", "c"}, > new TypeInformation[]{Types.STRING(), Types.INT(), Types.ROW( > new String[]{"a", "b", "c"}, > new TypeInformation[]{Types.STRING(), > Types.STRING(),Types.STRING()})} > {code} > instead of > {code:java} > Types.ROW( > new String[]{"a", "b", "c"}, > new TypeInformation[]{Types.STRING(), Types.INT(), > BasicArrayTypeInfo.STRING_TYPE_INFO}) > {code} > because the program will fail in TypeStringUtils.readTypeInfo. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
