Hi all! I was testing the TemporalTable functionality in the SQL client while using the Hive Catalog and I ran into the following problem.
I have a table created in the Hive catalog and I want to create a temporal table over it. As we cannot create temporal tables in SQL directly I have to define it in the environment yaml file. Unfortunately it seems to be impossible to reference a table only present in the catalog (not in the yaml) as catalogs are loaded only after creating the temporal table (see https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-table/flink-sql-client/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/table/client/gateway/local/ExecutionContext.java#L622 ) I am wondering if it would make sense to set the catalogs before all else or if that would cause some other problems. What do you think? Gyula
