> Extend TableAPI Support Sink Table Registration and ‘insert into’ Clause in
> SQL
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-6442
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6442
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: lincoln.lee
> Assignee: lincoln.lee
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.4.0
>
>
> Currently in TableAPI there’s only registration method for source table,
> when we use SQL writing a streaming job, we should add additional part for
> the sink, like TableAPI does:
> {code}
> val sqlQuery = "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE _1 = 3"
> val t = StreamTestData.getSmall3TupleDataStream(env)
> tEnv.registerDataStream("MyTable", t)
> // one way: invoke tableAPI’s writeToSink method directly
> val result = tEnv.sql(sqlQuery)
> result.writeToSink(new YourStreamSink)
> // another way: convert to datastream first and then invoke addSink
> val result = tEnv.sql(sqlQuery).toDataStream[Row]
> result.addSink(new StreamITCase.StringSink)
> {code}
> From the api we can see the sink table always be a derived table because its
> 'schema' is inferred from the result type of upstream query.
> Compare to traditional RDBMS which support DML syntax, a query with a target
> output could be written like this:
> {code}
> insert into table target_table_name
> [(column_name [ ,...n ])]
> query
> {code}
> The equivalent form of the example above is as follows:
> {code}
> tEnv.registerTableSink("targetTable", new YourSink)
> val sql = "INSERT INTO targetTable SELECT a, b, c FROM sourceTable"
> val result = tEnv.sql(sql)
> {code}
> It is supported by Calcite’s grammar:
> {code}
> insert:( INSERT | UPSERT ) INTO tablePrimary
> [ '(' column [, column ]* ')' ]
> query
> {code}
> I'd like to extend Flink TableAPI to support such feature. see design doc:
