Timo Walther commented on FLINK-3856: ------------------------------------- I have created type information for all 3 types. You can find it here: https://github.com/twalthr/flink/tree/DateTimeTimestamp Actually, it does not look very nice due to the bad Java API design. Using {{java.time}} would be better, but Java 8 is not mandatory yet. Supporting these types is propaply the most industry-friendly solution, though. What do you think about it [~fhueske]? > Create types for java.sql.Date/Time/Timestamp > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-3856 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3856 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: Timo Walther > Assignee: Timo Walther > > At the moment there is only the {{Date}} type which is not sufficient for > most use cases about time. > The Table API would also benefit from having different types as output result. > I would propose to add the three {{java.sql.}} types either as {{BasicTypes}} > or in an additional class {{TimeTypes}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
