The problem of having a static variable containing a property key is however that you can break backwards compatibility and all tests automatically succeed because they all referenced the common variable. > Add unified format interfaces and format discovery > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-8558 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8558 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Streaming Connectors > Reporter: Timo Walther > Assignee: Timo Walther > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > > In the last release, we introduced a new module {{flink-formats}}. 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)
