Hi both, I added the import as Hequn suggested.
My stream is very simple and consists of 4 values separated by "," as below 05521df6-4ccf-4b2f-b874-eb27d461b305,IBM,2018-07-30T19:51:50,190.48 So this is what I have been trying to do Code val dataStream = streamExecEnv .addSource(new FlinkKafkaConsumer011[String](topicsValue, new SimpleStringSchema(), properties)) // // val tableEnv = TableEnvironment.getTableEnvironment(streamExecEnv) val table1: Table = tableEnv.fromDataStream(dataStream, 'key, 'ticker, 'timeissued, 'price) note those four columns in Table1 definition And this is the error being thrown [info] Compiling 1 Scala source to /home/hduser/dba/bin/flink/md_streaming/target/scala-2.11/classes... [error] /home/hduser/dba/bin/flink/md_streaming/src/main/scala/myPackage/md_streaming.scala:152: overloaded method value fromDataStream with alternatives: [error] [T](dataStream: org.apache.flink.streaming.api.datastream.DataStream[T], fields: String)org.apache.flink.table.api.Table <and> [error] [T](dataStream: org.apache.flink.streaming.api.datastream.DataStream[T])org.apache.flink.table.api.Table [error] cannot be applied to (org.apache.flink.streaming.api.datastream.DataStreamSource[String], Symbol, Symbol, Symbol, Symbol) [error] val table1: Table = tableEnv.fromDataStream(dataStream, 'key, 'ticker, 'timeissued, 'price) [error] ^ [error] one error found [error] (compile:compileIncremental) Compilation failed I suspect dataStream may not be compatible with this operation?
