I think I have identified the issue. As I mentioned earlier, the deprecated
`TableEnvironment#registerTable` (which is equivalent to
`TableEnvironment#createTemporaryView`) only creates a temporary table. You
need to use the existing createTable method to create a persistent table. After
creating the table in the file catalog using the Java/Scala code, you should be
able to see the table in the SQL client. Once you write a DataStream into this
table from Java/Scala, you should be able to see the data in the SQL client as
well.
I have tested the code as below:
```
CatalogStore catalogStore = new FileCatalogStore(BASE_PATH + "store/");
final EnvironmentSettings settings =
EnvironmentSettings.newInstance().inStreamingMode().withCatalogStore(catalogStore).build();
final StreamExecutionEnvironment env =
StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();
final StreamTableEnvironment tableEnv = StreamTableEnvironment.create(env,
settings);
tableEnv.executeSql("drop catalog if exists fscat");
Map<String, String> catalogConf = new HashMap<>();
catalogConf.put(CommonCatalogOptions.CATALOG_TYPE.key(),
TestFileSystemTableFactory.IDENTIFIER);
catalogConf.put(PATH.key(), BASE_PATH + "catalog/");
catalogConf.put(CommonCatalogOptions.DEFAULT_DATABASE_KEY, "fsdb");
tableEnv.createCatalog(
"fscat", CatalogDescriptor.of("fscat", Configuration.fromMap(catalogConf)));
// or use ddl to create catalog
// tableEnv.executeSql(
// "CREATE CATALOG fscat with ("
// + "'type' = 'test-filesystem', "
// + "'path' = 'xxx', "
// + "'default-database' = 'fsdb')");
tableEnv.useCatalog("fscat");
tableEnv.executeSql("CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS fsdb");
tableEnv.executeSql("drop table if exists fscat.fsdb.RandomNumbers");
DataStream<Integer> randomSource =
env.addSource(
new SourceFunction<Integer>() {
@Override
public void run(SourceContext<Integer> sourceContext) throws Exception {
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
sourceContext.collect(i);
}
}
@Override
public void cancel() {}
});
Table table = tableEnv.fromDataStream(randomSource);
randomSource.print();
// should not register a temporal table
// tableEnv.registerTable("fscat.fsdb.RandomNumbers", table);
tableEnv.createTable(
"fscat.fsdb.RandomNumbers",
TableDescriptor.forConnector(TestFileSystemTableFactory.IDENTIFIER)
.schema(Schema.newBuilder().column("data", DataTypes.INT()).build())
.option("path", BASE_PATH + "data/")
.option(FactoryUtil.FORMAT.key(), "csv")
.build());
// or use ddl to create table
// tableEnv.executeSql(
// "CREATE TABLE fscat.fsdb.RandomNumbers ("
// + "data INT"
// + ") WITH ("
// + " 'connector' = 'test-filesystem',"
// + " 'path' = 'xxx',"
// + " 'format' = 'csv'"
// + ")");
table.executeInsert("fscat.fsdb.RandomNumbers").await();
System.err.println("=======");
tableEnv.executeSql("select * from fscat.fsdb.RandomNumbers").print();
env.execute("Flink Random Sequence Generator environment: TEST");
```
When using `./sql-client.sh -Dtable.catalog-store.kind=file
-Dtable.catalog-store.file.path=xxx` to start the sql client, you can find the
table finally.
```
Flink SQL> show catalogs;
+-----------------+

Flink SQL> use catalog fscat;
[INFO] Execute statement succeeded.
Flink SQL> show tables;
+---------------+
| table name |
+---------------+

```
Please do not forget to package all classes about TestFileSystemCatalogFactory,
TestFileSystemCatalog and TestFileSystemTableFactory as a jar and add the SPI
file for TestFileSystemCatalogFactory and TestFileSystemTableFactory, and then
copy this jar under the dir `lib`.

I got Flink 1.20.0 to work (tweaked my `build.gradle` based on the
documentation) and created a catalog store and a file system catalog. But still
don't see my catalog or table in SQL client. My code is
CatalogStore catalogStore = new FileCatalogStore(BASE_PATH + "store/");
final EnvironmentSettings settings = EnvironmentSettings.newInstance()
.inStreamingMode()
.withCatalogStore(catalogStore)

I thought setting the catalogstore in the SQL client might help but I can't
find a way to do that.

Thanks again for your answer. I have to use Flink version 1.20.0 because

I am not able to run 1.20.0 due to the following error. (Version 1.91.1 works

As far as I know, it's not possible to do without using the Catalog.
Oh... I forgot that the FileSystemCatalog is currently only used for
testing[1]. One approach is to implement and package a FileSystemCatalog by
refering this testing catalog.

Thanks Xuyang for your answer. I, however, can't find a way to create a
filesystem catalog except by using Hive which seems to require an external Hive
installation. I was hoping to find a solution that doesn't require external
dependencies. Is that possible?

Hi.
In Java/Scala code, using `registerTable` and then querying in the SQL client
will not work, as registerTable only creates a temporal table.
To fulfill your requirements, you may need to use a persistent catalog[1] (such
as a filesystem catalog) where you can create tables in your Java/Scala code.
Once the table is created under that catalog, you can then query it from the
SQL client within the same catalog[2]. For example:
To avoid creating and using the same catalog twice in both Java/Scala code and
the SQL client, you can leverage a catalog store(In higher versions only)[3].

Hello,
I am looking for an elaboration, or work around, of an old answer to this
question here
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56049472/create-sql-table-from-a-datastream-in-a-java-scala-program-and-query-it-from-sql)
which mentions that registering the table can make it visible to the SQL
client.
I am using Flink 1.8.1 with Java 11. I downloaded Flink 1.8.1 bundle, put its
`bin` folder in path, and started the cluster using `start-cluster.sh`.
I created a simple Flink job that generates stream of random integers and
creates a table as follows:
```Java
final StreamExecutionEnvironment env =
StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();
StreamTableEnvironment tableEnv = StreamTableEnvironment.create(env);
// Create a DataStream of random integers
DataStream<Integer> intStream = env.addSource(new RandomIntegerSource());
// Convert DataStream to Table
Table table = tableEnv.fromDataStream(intStream, "number");
// Register the table
tableEnv.registerTable("RandomNumbers", table);
// Execute the job
env.execute("Random Integer Job");
```
Then, I started `sql-client.sh` and queried as follows
```SQL
Flink SQL> show catalogs;
+-----------------+
| catalog name |
+-----------------+
| default_catalog |
+-----------------+
1 row in set
Flink SQL> USE CATALOG default_catalog;
[INFO] Execute statement succeed.
Flink SQL> SHOW databases;
+------------------+
| database name |
+------------------+
| default_database |
+------------------+
1 row in set
Flink SQL> USE default_database;
[INFO] Execute statement succeed.
Flink SQL> SHOW tables;
Empty set
```
As can be seen, I don't see `RandomNumbers` table.
How can I make that table visible to SQL client?
