Fang Yong commented on FLINK-31259: ----------------------------------- Thanks [~fsk119] I found some differences between your description here and [FLIP-295|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-295%3A+Introduce+Pluggable+Catalog+Management]. I don't quite understand the meaning of the mysql `catalog manager` you provided above. It's a `Catalog` or `CatalogManager`? In FLIL-295 users can config `CatalogStore` as follows ``` sql.catalog.store.type: file sql.catalog.store.file.path: file:///xxxx/xxx ``` Since no details are described here, I don't know if it is possible to configure multiple catalogs in the store file, such as mysql catalog, hive catalog, paimon catalog, etc. If it can, and the file catalog store is built in flink, I think it can meet the needs to config multiple catalogs in the file. > Gateway supports initialization of catalog at startup > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-31259 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-31259 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Table SQL / Gateway > Affects Versions: 1.18.0 > Reporter: Fang Yong > Assignee: Fang Yong > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > > Support to initializing catalogs in gateway when it starts -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
