> As a platform user, I want to integrate Flink SQL in my platform.
> The users will register Source/Sink Tables and Functions to catalog service 
> through UI, and write SQL scripts on Web SQLEditor. I want to validate the 
> SQL syntax and validate that all catalog objects exist (table, fields, UDFs). 
> After some investigation, I decided to use the `tEnv.sqlUpdate/sqlQuery` API 
> to do this.`SqlParser` and`FlinkSqlParserImpl` is not a good choice, as it 
> will not read the catalog.
> The users have registered *Kafka* source/sink table in the catalog, so the 
> validation logic will be:
> {code:java}
> TableEnvironment tableEnv = xxxx
> tEnv.registerCatalog(CATALOG_NAME, catalog);
> tEnv.useCatalog(CATALOG_NAME);
> tEnv.useDatabase(DB_NAME);
> tEnv.sqlUpdate("INSERT INTO sinkTable SELECT f1,f2 FROM sourceTable"); 
> or  
> tEnv.sqlQuery("SELECT * FROM tableName")
> {code}
> It will through exception on Flink 1.9.0 because I do not have 
> `flink-connector-kafka_2.11-1.9.0.jar`  in my classpath.
> {code:java}

> For a platform provider, the user's SQL may depend on *ANY* connector or even 
> a custom connector. It is complicated to do dynamic loading connector jar 
> after parser the connector type in SQL. And this requires the users must 
> upload their custom connector jar before doing a syntax check.
> I hope that Flink can provide a friendly way to verify the syntax of SQL 
> whose tables/functions are already registered in the catalog, *NOT* need to 
> depend on the jar of the connector. This makes it easier for SQL to be 
> integrated by external platforms.
