Hi chrisr, It seems there are no "single line" ways to solve your problem. To print results on screen, you can use the DataStream.print() / DataSet.print() method, and to limit the output you can add a FilterFunction. The code looks like:
Table projection1 = customers > .select("id,last_name") > .filter("last_name !== 'foobar'"); > tableEnv.toAppendStream(projection1, Row.class).filter(new > FilterFunction<Row>() { > int count = 0; > @Override > public boolean filter(Row value) throws Exception { > return count ++ < 10; > } > }).setParallelism(1).print(); Hope this helps, Hequn On Sun, Jun 24, 2018 at 7:05 AM, chrisr123 <chris.rueg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is there a simple way to output the first few rows of a Flink table to > stdout > when developing an application?
