Hi all, I’m Alexey from Confluent. This is my first email in this discussion list. I’m rather new to Flink, and to local customs of communication. I want to dive deeper and hopefully get more involved over time.
Currently I have a few questions around SQL Gateway and SQL Client. Specifically I wanted to learn what is the vision around the nearest future of these two components. In what Flink’s release the connection from SQL Client to the Gateway is expected to be added? I was looking at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-29486, and recently it got renamed from “Enable SQL Client to Connect SQL Gateway in Remote Mode” to “Introduce Client Parser to get statement type”. I did some search, but didn’t find a good place where the client's work in this direction is discussed or tracked. A couple questions about the SQL Gateway. The FLIP-91 <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-91%3A+Support+SQL+Gateway#FLIP91:SupportSQLGateway-Futurework> mentions “Authentication module” (2) and “Persistent Gateway” (4) as possible future work. Were there any recent discussions on these subjects? Or maybe there are some ideas how to move these directions forward? Another related topic: are there ideas around making SQL Gateway a multi-tenant component? Thank you, Alexey
