I’m attempting to create a stream using JDBCInputFormat. Objective is to
convert each record into a tuple and then serialize for input into a Kafka
topic. Here’s what I have so far.
```
val env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment
val inputFormat = JDBCInputFormat.buildJDBCInputFormat()
.setDrivername("org.postgresql.Driver")
.setDBUrl("jdbc:postgresql:test")
.setQuery("select name from persons")
.finish()
val stream : DataStream[Tuple1[String]] = env.createInput(...)
```
I think this is essentially what I want to do. It would be nice if I could
return tuples of arbitrary length, but reading the code suggests I have to
commit to a defined arity. So I have some questions.
1. Is there a better way to read from a database (i.e., defining my own
`InputFormat` using Slick)?
2. To get the above example working, what should I supply to `createInput`?
