Jark Wu commented on FLINK-16774:
---------------------------------
Thanks [~jackylau] for the doc. I think it's a reasonable feature to expose
metadata information to external systems. However, I think expose public getter
methods for HBaseUpsertSinkFunction is not a good way. Because,
1) it's not guaranteed by any infetefaces. These methods maybe removed or
broken after some release cycles.
2) After FLIP-95, all the implementation of SinkFunction is an {{@Internal}}
class.
3) We have so many connectors, it's hard to keep track and mantain which
methods should be exposed.
In a word, we should propse some maintainable approach, e.g. Hive's Hook
mechanism. However, I'm not familiar with Hive Hook, so pull in [~lirui].
Btw, is that possible to the the metainformation from Flink's Catalog? You can
get the identifier names of source and sink from the query, and then access
metadata via catalog.
