Jark Wu commented on FLINK-13900:
---------------------------------
Another way is don't treat {{console}} as a TableSink, treat it as a shortcut
of {{Table.print()}}. As we are discussion about support {{Table.collect()}} in
FLINK-13943, it make sense to support {{Table.print()}}. And the implementation
of {{Table.print()}} can be similar to {{Table.collect()}}.
> Add a built-in "console" sink to print results in console

> 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
