Timo Walther created FLINK-9963: ----------------------------------- Summary: Create a string table format factory Key: FLINK-9963 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9963 Project: Flink Issue Type: Sub-task Components: Table API & SQL Reporter: Timo Walther
Sometimes it might be useful to just read or write a string into Kafka or other connectors. We should add a simple string {{SerializationSchemaFactory}} and {{DeserializationSchemaFactory}}. How we want to represent all data types and nested types is still up for discussion. We could also support just a single string field? Schema derivation should be supported by the factories. See {{org.apache.flink.formats.json.JsonRowFormatFactory}} for a reference. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
