Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-1991:
-----------------------------------------
But conversion to a tuple is only possible in a type-safe way if the user
specifies the types of the tuple. And this leads to bloat, since we need a lot
of functions for this. Similar to how we had the types() method on projections
or other methods with tuples.
> Return Table as DataSet<Tuple>

> Key: FLINK-1991
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1991
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
>
> WIth a {{TableEnvironment}} a {{Table}} can be converted into a Pojo or Row
> data set. Both types have their issues. A Pojo needs to be explicitly defined
> and a Row cannot be easily processed by a user-function.
> It would be good to have a method to convert a {{Table}} into a
> {{DataSet<Tuple>}}.
