Jark Wu commented on FLINK-18158:
---------------------------------
Yes. In spark, schema inference is deriving schema from data or from metadata.
My thought is more like
{code:java}
CREATE TABLE avro WITH (format=avro, avro.schema='...')
{code}
where the schema part is ommited and inferred from avro schema string.
If I remember correctly, [~twalthr] also has an idea to have a built-in
function (maybe {{from_avro(data, schemaString)}}?) which will automantically
inference the schema and decode data.
