> In the current implementation of TableEnvironment the 
> [insertInto(..)|https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/7347c9e2094c5243ef7db34bde1fd87ea5e7641d/flink-table/flink-table-planner/src/main/scala/org/apache/flink/table/api/TableEnvImpl.scala#L656]
>  method check is the source Table Schema exactly the same as sink schema 
> otherwise, it throws a ValidationException.
> Let's imagine the following setup:
>  I have a sink wich produce the Row with fields A and B. (for example Kafka)
>  By the other hand, I have an External Catalog which produce the sink for 
> Database which support UPSERT (for example PostgreSQL or Cloudera Kudu in my 
> case) with schema of fields :
>  * A _required_
>  * B _required_
>  * C _+optional+_
> I want to UPSERT only A and B fields in the sink. But as far as sink was 
> created from the external catalog it knows only the schema of the table. 
> (fields A B C) and when I create the query like this I got the 
> ValidationException.
> {code:java}
> INSERT INTO sink.table
> SELECT A, B FROM src.topic{code}
>  I propose to validate in *insertInto(..)* method does the source schema is 
> the subset of sink schema and if yes call the configure(..) method for the 
> sink. In this case, the sink can adapt for source schema if it is possible.
