Jark Wu commented on FLINK-13900:
---------------------------------
Yes. This will be a sink without fixed schema. It needs an interface like
{{TableSink.configure(...)}} to dynamically set the query's schema. It is
useful in some cases if the external system is not fixed-schema.
I didn't consider to add it as a regular connector. I would like it can be used
as easy as possible. If we want to support additional options, we may can
support them via job level configurations.

> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table SQL / API, Table SQL / Planner
> Reporter: Jark Wu
> Priority: Major
>
> It is a useful feature for debugging and quickstart. With the console builtin
> sink, we can directly output arbitrary query into the console or
> {{taskmanager.out}} in cluster setup.
> Currently, we have to implement a dedicate PrintTableSink and configure every
> field names and types before output the query, which is very verbose.

> INSERT INTO console
> SELECT * FROM kafka_logs
