If this method is also used for `ScalarFunction`, the exception message
should be adapted accordingly.
> Add support for user defined table function in Table API & SQL
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-4469
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4469
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Jark Wu
> Assignee: Jark Wu
>
> Normal user-defined functions, such as concat(), take in a single input row
> and output a single output row. In contrast, table-generating functions
> transform a single input row to multiple output rows. It is very useful in
> some cases, such as look up in HBase by rowkey and return one or more rows.
> Adding a user defined table function should:
> 1. inherit from UDTF class with specific generic type T
> 2. define one or more evel function.
> NOTE:
> 1. the eval method must be public and non-static.
> 2. the generic type T is the row type returned by table function. Because of
> Java type erasure, we can’t extract T from the Iterable.
> 3. use {{collect(T)}} to emit table row
> 4. eval method can be overload. Blink will choose the best match eval method
> to call according to parameter types and number.
> {code}
> public class Word {
> public String word;
> public Integer length;
> }
> public class SplitStringUDTF extends UDTF<Word> {
> public Iterable<Word> eval(String str) {
> if (str != null) {
> for (String s : str.split(",")) {
> collect(new Word(s, s.length()));
> }
> }
> }
> }
> // in SQL
> tableEnv.registerFunction("split", new SplitStringUDTF())
> tableEnv.sql("SELECT a, b, t.* FROM MyTable, LATERAL TABLE(split(c)) AS
> t(w,l)")
> // in Java Table API
> tableEnv.registerFunction("split", new SplitStringUDTF())
> // rename split table columns to “w” and “l”
> table.crossApply("split(c) as (w, l)")
> .select("a, b, w, l")
> // without renaming, we will use the origin field names in the POJO/case/...
> table.crossApply("split(c)")
> .select("a, b, word, length")
> // in Scala Table API
> val split = new SplitStringUDTF()
> table.crossApply(split('c) as ('w, 'l))
> .select('a, 'b, 'w, 'l)
> // outerApply for outer join to a UDTF
> table.outerApply(split('c))
> .select('a, 'b, 'word, 'length)
> {code}
> See [1] for more information about UDTF design.
