Hi yuxia, Thanks for your proposal and sorry for the late reply. The FLIP is in good shape. If I am not mistaken, Everything, that a stored procedure could do, could also be done by a Flink job. The current stored procedure design is to empower Catalogs to provide users some commonly used logics/functions centrally and out-of-the-box, i.e. DRY. Is that correct?
