EronWright opened a new pull request #7390: [FLINK-11240] [table] External Catalog Factory and Descriptor URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/7390 ## What is the purpose of the change Implements the descriptor and factory infrastructure for external catalogs. I found it counterproductive to involve `ConnectorDescriptor` for external catalogs. That type was designed to support a mix-and-match between connector and format. See FLINK-11241 for more. On the topic of the transition to `flink-table-common`, I found it convenient to keep the new types in `flink-table` until `ExternalCatalog` moves (FLINK-10755). Java was used whenever possible. Closes FLINK-11240. ## Brief change log - Add `ExternalCatalogDescriptor` - Add `ExternalCatalogDescriptorValidator` - Add `ExternalCatalogFactory` - Add `TableFactoryUtil::findAndCreateExternalCatalog` ## Verifying this change This change added tests and can be verified as follows: - Added unit test `ExternalCatalogDescriptorTest` for descriptors - Added unit test `ExternalCatalogFactoryServiceTest` for factory discovery - Added a sample factory `TestExternalCatalogFactory` for test purposes which serves the catalog provided by the existing `CommonTestData::getInMemoryTestCatalog`. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): no - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: yes - The serializers: no - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): no - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: no - The S3 file system connector: no ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? yes - If yes, how is the feature documented?
