Currently > only {{flink-avro}} is located there but we will add more formats such as > {{flink-json}}, {{flink-protobuf}}, and so on. For better separation of > concerns we want decouple connectors from formats: e.g., remove > {{KafkaAvroTableSource}} and {{KafkaJsonTableSource}}. > A newly introduced {{FormatFactory}} will use Java service loaders to > discovery available formats in the classpath (similar to how file systems are > discovered now). A {{Format}} will provide a method for converting {{byte[]}} > to target record type. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
