Timo Walther commented on FLINK-2099:
-------------------------------------
Cool, that you already checked out and tested my code. You already found a
feature that is missing in the Table API: Proper Date comparison support. I
have opened an issue for that (see FLINK-3152). I can assign it to you, if you
like this could be your first contribution.
> Add a SQL API
> -------------
>
> Key: FLINK-2099
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2099
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API
> Reporter: Timo Walther
> Assignee: Timo Walther
>
> From the mailing list:
> Fabian: Flink's Table API is pretty close to what SQL provides. IMO, the best
> approach would be to leverage that and build a SQL parser (maybe together
> with a logical optimizer) on top of the Table API. Parser (and optimizer)
> could be built using Apache Calcite which is providing exactly this.
> Since the Table API is still a fairly new component and not very feature
> rich, it might make sense to extend and strengthen it before putting
> something major on top.
> Ted: It would also be relatively simple (I think) to retarget drill to Flink
> if
> Flink doesn't provide enough typing meta-data to do traditional SQL.
