------------------------------------
> Support external sink table in INSERT INTO statement
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-10079
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10079
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Jun Zhang
> Assignee: Jun Zhang
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.6.4, 1.8.0
>
>
> In the documentation, there is a description:
> {quote}Once registered in a TableEnvironment, all tables defined in a
> ExternalCatalog can be accessed from Table API or SQL queries by specifying
> their full path, such as catalog.database.table.
> {quote}
> Currently, this is true only for source tables. For sink table (specified in
> the Table API or SQL), the users have to explicitly register it even though
> it is defined in a registered ExternalCatalog, otherwise "No table was
> registered under the name XXX" TableException would be thrown.
> It would be better keep consistent between source table and sink table, and
> the users would enjoy more convenient approach to inserting into sink tables.
