-----------------------------------
Summary: Add a SQL API
Key: FLINK-2099
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2099
Project: Flink
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Table API
Reporter: Timo Walther
Assignee: Timo Walther
>From the mailing list:
Fabian: Flink's Table API is pretty close to what SQL provides. IMO, the best
approach would be to leverage that and build a SQL parser (maybe together
with a logical optimizer) on top of the Table API. Parser (and optimizer)
could be built using Apache Calcite which is providing exactly this.
Since the Table API is still a fairly new component and not very feature
rich, it might make sense to extend and strengthen it before putting
something major on top.
Ted: It would also be relatively simple (I think) to retarget drill to Flink if
Flink doesn't provide enough typing meta-data to do traditional SQL.
