Resolution: Duplicate
> Support pure string format for Kafka table connector
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-19652
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19652
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Connectors / Kafka, Formats (JSON, Avro, Parquet, ORC,
> SequenceFile)
> Affects Versions: 1.11.0, 1.11.1, 1.11.2
> Reporter: Qingsheng Ren
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently Kafka table connector supports some formats including CSV, JSON,
> Avro etc., but there are still cases that users want to deserialize the
> entire record as a string and parse with UDTF by themselves.
> A hacky way is defining a Kafka source table with only one string column and
> still using CSV format, but to use a character that will never appear in the
> message as the field delimiter. Actually it's hard to find such a delimiter
> if user cannot control the source of data.
