Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-9813:
--------------------------------------
I think [~twalthr] has a very good point about the dependencies. I think by
{quote}If CSV would understand an Avro format, it would pull in Jackson
dependencies and/or Avro dependencies.{quote}
he meant that Avro would be a dependency of Csv, i.e., users would need Avro
whenever they use Csv.
It might be modeled as an optional dependency, but I think the suggested
approach is a better seperation.
> Build xTableSource from Avro schemas
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-9813
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9813
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: François Lacombe
> Priority: Trivial
> Original Estimate: 48h
> Remaining Estimate: 48h
>
> As Avro provide efficient data schemas formalism, it may be great to be able
> to build Flink Tables Sources with such files.
> More info about Avro schemas
> :[https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/spec.html#schemas]
> For instance, with CsvTableSource :
> Parser schemaParser = new Schema.Parser();
> Schema tableSchema = schemaParser.parse("avro.json");
> Builder bld = CsvTableSource.builder().schema(tableSchema);
>
> This would give me a fully available CsvTableSource with columns defined in
> avro.json
> It may be possible to do so for every TableSources since avro format is
> really common and versatile.
