Timo Walther commented on FLINK-9219:
-------------------------------------
Maybe we should ask on the Calcite ML why the {{bind()}} is protected, the
constructor is private and the other bind method is private as well. Maybe we
can still influence the design decisions there. I think it would be great to
expose a Flink-specific type that just implements interfaces of Calcite. So
that we can ensure backwards-compatibility in the future even if Calcite's
types changes. Exposing a type with a package
{{org.apache.calcite.runtime.GeoFunctions.Geom}} does not look like good design
to me. We should definitely separate the functions from the regular API as much
as possible. I don't know if we need a switch for that. But we could add it via
{{TableConfig}}.

> Key: FLINK-9219
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9219
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Timo Walther
> Assignee: Xingcan Cui
> Priority: Major
>
> CALCITE-1968 added core functionality for handling
> spatial/geographical/geometry data. It should not be too hard to expose these
> features also in Flink's Table & SQL API. We would need a new {{GEOMETRY}}
> data type and connect the function APIs.
> Right now the following functions are supported by Calcite:
> {code}
> ST_AsText, ST_AsWKT, ST_Boundary, ST_Buffer, ST_Contains,
> ST_ContainsProperly, ST_Crosses, ST_Disjoint, ST_Distance, ST_DWithin,
> ST_Envelope, ST_EnvelopesIntersect, ST_Equals, ST_GeometryType,
> ST_GeometryTypeCode, ST_GeomFromText, ST_Intersects, ST_Is3D,
> ST_LineFromText, ST_MakeLine, ST_MakePoint, ST_MLineFromText,
> ST_MPointFromText, ST_MPolyFromText, ST_Overlaps, ST_Point, ST_PointFromText,
> ST_PolyFromText, ST_SetSRID, ST_Touches, ST_Transform, ST_Union, ST_Within,
> ST_Z
> {code}
