ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-5280: --------------------------------------- Github user mushketyk commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/3039 Hi @fhueske, @wuchong Thank you for your reviews. I think creating three abstract classes is a good idea, since we don't expect any new types of table sources, so there will not be a lot of combinations. I'll try to update the PR tomorrow according to all current comments. > Extend TableSource to support nested data > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-5280 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5280 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Table API & SQL > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Reporter: Fabian Hueske > Assignee: Ivan Mushketyk > > The {{TableSource}} interface does currently only support the definition of > flat rows. > However, there are several storage formats for nested data that should be > supported such as Avro, Json, Parquet, and Orc. The Table API and SQL can > also natively handle nested rows. > The {{TableSource}} interface and the code to register table sources in > Calcite's schema need to be extended to support nested data. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
