Hi Jiabao,

Yes, I still have concerns.

The FLIP violates the following two principles regarding configuration:

1.* A config of a class should never negate the semantic of a decorative
interface implemented by that class. *
A decorative interface is a public contract with other components, while a
config is only internal to the class itself. The configurations for the
Sources are not (and should never be) visible or understood to
other components (e.g. optimizer). A configuration of a Source only
controls the behavior of that Source, provided it is not violating the API
contract / semantic defined by the decorative interface. So when a Source
implementation implements SupportsFilterPushdown, this is a clear public
contract with Flink that filters should be pushed down to that Source.
Therefore, for the same source, there should not be a configuration
"source.filter-push-down.enabled" which stops the filters from being pushed
down to that Source. However, that specific source implementation can have
its own config to control its internal behavior, e.g.
"ignore-pushed-down-filters.enabled" which may push back all the pushed
down filters back to the Flink optimizer.

2. When we are talking about "common configs", in fact we are talking about
"configs for common (abstract) implementation classes". With that as a
context, *a common config should always be backed by a common
implementation class, so that consistent behavior can be guaranteed. *
The LookupOptions you mentioned are configurations defined for classes
DefaultLookupCache / PeriodicCacheReloadTrigger / TimedCacheReloadTrigger.
These configs are considered as "common" only because the implementation
classes using them are common building blocks for lookup table
implementations. It would not make sense to have a dangling config in the
LookupOptions without the underlying common implementation class, but only
relies on a specific source to implement the stated behavior.
As a bad example, there is this outlier config "max-retries" in
LookupOptions, which I don't think should be here. This is because the
retry behavior can be very implementation specific. For example, there can
be many different flavors of retry related configurations, retry-backoff,
retry-timeout, retry-async, etc. Why only max-retry is put here? should all
of them be put here? If we put all such kinds of configs in the common
configs for "standardization and unification", the number of "common
configs" can easily go crazy. And I don't see material benefits of doing
that. So here I don't think the configuration "max-retry" should be in
LookupOptions, because it is not backed by any common implementation
classes. If max-retry is implemented in the HBase source, it should stay
there. For the same reason, the config proposed in this FLIP (probably with
a name less confusing for the first reason mentioned above)  should stay in
the specific Source implementation.

For the two reasons above, I am -1 to what the FLIP currently proposes.

I think the right way to address the motivation here is still to have a
config like "ignore-pushed-down-filters.enabled" for the specific source
implementation. Please let me know if this solves the problem you are
facing.

Thanks,

Jiangjie (Becket) Qin
