Timo Walther created FLINK-8558:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Add unified format interfaces and format discovery
Key: FLINK-8558
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8558
Project: Flink
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Streaming Connectors
Reporter: Timo Walther
Assignee: Timo Walther
In the last release, we introduced a new module {{flink-formats}}. Currently
only {{flink-avro}} is located there but we will add more formats such as
{{flink-json}}, {{flink-protobuf}}, and so on. For better separation of
concerns we want decouple connectors from formats: e.g., remove
{{KafkaAvroTableSource}} and {{KafkaJsonTableSource}}.
A newly introduced {{FormatFactory}} will use Java service loaders to discovery
available formats in the classpath (similar to how file systems are discovered
now). A {{Format}} will provide a method for converting {{byte[]}} to target
record type.
