------------------------------------
I have raised a PR and left open for a week. It has passed the Azure build, can
[~jark] and [~danny0405] have a review for that? Thanks
> Make Rowdata converters public
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-19098
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19098
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Formats (JSON, Avro, Parquet, ORC, SequenceFile), Table
> SQL / Ecosystem
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0
> Reporter: Brian Zhou
> Assignee: Brian Zhou
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
>
> Some of the Rowdata converters(SeDer between Rowdata and format objects like
> GenericRecord/JsonNode) are private or package-private (like Json), this is
> not easy for other third-party connector projects to utilize to implement its
> own format factory in Table API.
> For example, Pravega connector is now developing a schema-registry-based
> format factory. The [Pravega schema
> registry|https://github.com/pravega/schema-registry] is a rest service
> similar with confluent registry , but it can help to serialize/deserialize
> json/avro/protobuf/custom format data. It will help a lot if these converters
> are public.
> Noticed in FLINK-16048, we have already moved the avro converters out and
> made them public. Similarly, it should be safe to make at least json and csv
> format converters public.
