This is intentional. Although I've done the hard work of figuring out what levels of projection are supported by a few different formats (`avro`, `csv`, `json`, `avro-confluent`, `debezium-avro-confluent`), the fact is there are more formats out there beyond those maintained by Flink or even in the open source ecosystem (we have some custom formats at my company for example). Even for the formats I've figured out, the support could potentially vary by version. Something we _could_ consider long-term is adding a method to `ProjectableDecodingFormat` to indicate its supported projection level. However, even that wouldn't fully solve the problem e.g. the avro format implements `ProjectableDecodingFormat` but doesn't actually support all projection pushdowns (as documented in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-35324). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
