Hi Flavio,
I tried to follow your example. If I got it right, you would like to change
the registered table by assigning a different DataStream to the original
myDs variable.
With registerDataStream("test", myDs, ...) you don't register the variable
myDs as a table but it's current value, i.e., a reference to a DataStream
object.
By changing the value of myDs, you just override the reference in myDs but
do not change the reference that was registered in Calcite's catalog.
This is common behavior in many programming languages including Java.
Right now, there is no way to change or override a registered table. We had
this functionality once, but had to remove it after a Calcite version
upgrade.
Can you use a new TableEnvironment and register the new table there?
Best, Fabian
