Kurt Young commented on FLINK-5185:
-----------------------------------
Hi [~fhueske], you are right about the schema thing. It's indeed decided by
RelOptRule and TableSource together.
Regarding to the simplify part, i think it's almost the same with these two
approaches. Like we metioned in the design doc, we will have a projectable
source which will extends TableSource and with ProjectableTableSource trait.
Once the projection been pushdown, the change of schema will reflected through
TableSource's interface {{getFieldTypes}}, which is sufficient for us to
derived the changed RowType.
We will open some PRs soon and let's discuss with the codes.
> Decouple BatchTableSourceScan with TableSourceTable

> Key: FLINK-5185
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5185
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Kurt Young
> Assignee: zhangjing
> Priority: Minor
>
> As the components' relationship show in this design doc:
> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PBnEbOcFHlEF1qGGAUgJvINdEXzzFTIRElgvs4-Tdeo/
> We found it's been annoying for {{BatchTableSourceScan}} directly holding
> {{TableSourceTable}}, and refer to {{TableSource}} further. It's ok if the
> relationship is immutable, but when we want to change the {{TableSource}}
> when applying optimizations, it will cause some conflicts and
> misunderstanding.
> Since there is only one way to change {{TableSource}}, which is creating a
> new {{TableSourceTable}} to hold the new {{TableSource}}, and create a new
> {{BatchTableSourceScan}} pointing to the {{TableSourceTable}} which just
> created. The annoying part is the {{RelOptTable}} comes from the super class
> {{TableScan}} still holds the connection to the original {{TableSourceTable}}
> and {{TableSource}}. It will cause some misunderstanding, which one should
> the {{Scan}} rely to, and what's difference between these tables.
> Besides, {{TableSourceTable}} is not very useful in {{BatchTableSourceScan}},
> the only thing {{Scan}} cares is the {{RowType}} it returns, since this is
> and should be decided by {{TableSource}}. So we can let
> {{BatchTableSourceScan}} directly holding {{TableSource}} instead of holding
> {{TableSourceTable}}.If some original information are needed, find table
> through {{RelOptTable}}.
