Aljoscha Krettek updated FLINK-19903:
-------------------------------------
Component/s: (was: API / Core)
Table SQL / API
> Implement equivalent of Spark's f.input_file_name()
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-19903
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19903
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table SQL / API
> Reporter: Ruben Laguna
> Priority: Major
>
> Use case:
> I have a dataset where they embedded some information in the filenames
> (200k files) and I need to extract that as a new column.
> In Spark I could `
> .withColumn("id",f.split(f.reverse(f.split(f.input_file_name(),'/'))[0],'\.')[0])`
> but I don't see how can I do the same with Flink.
>
> Apparently there is
> [FLIP-107|[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-107%3A+Handling+of+metadata+in+SQL+connectors]]
> which would allow SQL connectors and formats to expose metadata.
>
> So it would be great for the Filesystem SQL connector to expose the path.
> Ideally for me the path could be exposed via a function that read the
> metadata. So I could write something akin to `SELECT input_file_name(),*
> FROM table1`
