Jark Wu reassigned FLINK-4244:
------------------------------
Assignee: Jark Wu
> Field names for union operator do not have to be equal
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-4244
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4244
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Assignee: Jark Wu
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Flink Table API's documentation says that the schemas of unioned tables have
> to be identical (wrt types and names). However, union works also with tables
> where the types are identical but not the names:
> {code}
> val input1Seq = 0 until 10 map {x => (x, ('a' + x).toChar.toString,
> x.toDouble)}
> val input2Seq = 0 until 10 map {x => (x, ('a' + x).toChar.toString,
> x.toDouble)}
> val inputDS1 = env.fromCollection(input1Seq)
> val inputDS2 = env.fromCollection(input2Seq)
> val input1 = tblEnv.fromDataSet(inputDS1, 'a, 'b, 'c)
> tblEnv.registerTable("foobar", input1)
> val input2 = tblEnv.fromDataSet(inputDS2, 'd, 'e, 'f)
> tblEnv.registerTable("foobar2", input2)
> val result = tblEnv.sql("SELECT * FROM foobar UNION ALL SELECT * FROM
> foobar2")
> tblEnv.toDataSet[Row](result).print()
> {code}
> We should update the documentation accordingly.
