ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-2168: --------------------------------------- Github user wuchong commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3149 Hi @fhueske , Regarding to the field type serialization, I think maybe we can provide default deserialization for basic types (int,long,String...) if users do use the `Bytes.toBytes(...)` to serialize the basic types. If not, users can ask this field to return raw bytes in this way: `htableSchame.add("column_family", "qualifier", byte[].class)` and then use an user defined scalar function to deserialize the value. regarding to the rowkeys, I agree with you. It would be great if we can set scan range by WHERE clause. But FLINK-3849 (FilterableTableSource) is still a pending PR, I would suggest to break this issue into two. 1. add HBaseTableSource, provide access to HBase tables and support nested schema. 2. extend HBaseTableSource to support FilterableTableSource. > Add HBaseTableSource > -------------------- > > Key: FLINK-2168 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2168 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Table API & SQL > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Reporter: Fabian Hueske > Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Priority: Minor > Labels: starter > > Add a {{HBaseTableSource}} to read data from a HBase table. The > {{HBaseTableSource}} should implement the {{ProjectableTableSource}} > (FLINK-3848) and {{FilterableTableSource}} (FLINK-3849) interfaces. > The implementation can be based on Flink's {{TableInputFormat}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
