[Beam-2010] expose programming interface It's the DSL implementation described in [Apache Beam: design of DSL SQL interface](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uWXL_yF3UUO5GfCxbL6kWsmC8xCWfICU3RwiQKsk7Mk/edit?usp=sharing). It provides two methods `BeamSql.simpleQuery(...)` and `BeamSql.query(...)` to integrate SQL in Beam pipeline, by converting it into a `PTransform`, refer to `org.apache.beam.dsls.sql.example.BeamSqlExample` as a quick example. Along with this DSL methods, some functions in the back-end are changed: 1. `BeamSqlRowCoder` is updated to have a input parameter `BeamSQLRecordType`, to declare row format, and it cannot be registered during initialization any more; 2. Interface in `BeamRelNode` is changed, to align with the goal, converting into PTransform; The methods for CLI client are marked as `Experimental` in `BeamSql`, the difference is handled in `BeamIOSourceRel`, that whether an upstream PCollection is there, or need to generate from `BaseBeamTable`; You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/XuMingmin/beam BEAM-2010 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/3250.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #3250 ---- commit 3f0c2c356a83163f165684e07b24bbcc9f759ab7 Author: mingmxu <ming...@ebay.com> Date: 2017-05-27T05:07:03Z DSL interface for Beam SQL ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
