             Summary: Cannot create named STRUCT with a single field
                 Key: FLINK-34898
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-34898
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Chloe He


I'm trying to create named structs using Flink SQL and I found a previous 
ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9161 that mentions the use 
of the following syntax:

```sql

SELECT CAST(('a', 1) as ROW<a STRING, b INT>) AS row1;

```

However, my named struct has a single field and effectively it should look 
something like `\{"a": 1}`. I can't seem to be able to find a way to construct 
this. I have experimented with a few different syntax and it either throws 
parsing error or casting error:

```

Cast function cannot convert value of type INTEGER to type 
RecordType(VARCHAR(2147483647) a)

```
