--------------------------------
Parent: FLINK-12251
Issue Type: Sub-task (was: New Feature)
> Add native Avro type support to the Table API & SQL
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-8183
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8183
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Table SQL / Ecosystem
> Reporter: Timo Walther
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: auto-deprioritized-major
>
> Avro types can pass the Table API, however, there should be a more native
> support in order to have the best user experience. This issue is an umbrella
> issue for tasks that would improve the handling of Avro types:
> Improvements could be:
> - Create a Avro type information that is created from an Avro schema that
> maps to all supported Table API types (full knowledge about key and values of
> lists, maps, and union types instead of {{GenericType}})
> - Convert {{Utf8}} (even in nested Avro types) to string when entering the
> Table API and convert it back if necessary
> - Add scalar functions to change certain values (e.g.,
> {{select('avroRecord.set("name", "Bob").set("age", 12))}}). This is in
> particular useful when a type has a lot of fields.
