---------------------------------
Summary: Format docs incorrectly contain "format" property
Key: FLINK-21064
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21064
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 1.12.1, 1.12.0
Reporter: Ingo Bürk
In the Flink docs, all formats document the "format" property as required.
However, this is actually a property of the connector, not the format.
Prior to 1.12 this was only an issue for custom connectors as all of Flink's
connectors by convention had a "format" property. With 1.12+, the Kafka
connector made the "format" property non-required as users can instead use
"value.format". Although being synonyms, this now logically breaks the
documentation of the Formats stating that "format" is a required property.
