Xingcan Cui commented on FLINK-8538:
------------------------------------
Thanks for the comments [~twalthr] and [~fhueske]. Actually, I've encountered
the problem of parsing the NUMBER type before and I just added an extra field
to indicate the numeric types as the JSON schema in my application was only
used internally. I think the Option 2 Timo raised referred to a global config,
i.e., we always return a specific type, which could be configured to be double
or BigDecimal, for the JSON NUMBER type. I'll create a ticket for the JSON
schema converter. Thanks!
> Add a Kafka table source factory with JSON format support

> Key: FLINK-8538
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8538
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Timo Walther
> Assignee: Xingcan Cui
> Priority: Major
>
> Similar to CSVTableSourceFactory a Kafka table source factory for JSON should
> be added. This issue includes improving the existing JSON descriptor with
> validation that can be used for other connectors as well. It is up for
> discussion if we want to split the KafkaJsonTableSource into connector and
> format such that we can reuse the format for other table sources as well.
