I am the [Flink Jira Bot|https://github.com/apache/flink-jira-bot/] and I help
the community manage its development. I see this issues has been marked as
Major but is unassigned and neither itself nor its Sub-Tasks have been updated
for 60 days. I have gone ahead and added a "stale-major" to the issue". If this
ticket is a Major, please either assign yourself or give an update. Afterwards,
please remove the label or in 7 days the issue will be deprioritized.
> Rework the Table API & SQL type system
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-12251
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12251
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table SQL / API
> Reporter: Timo Walther
> Priority: Major
> Labels: auto-unassigned, stale-major
>
> Currently, the Table & SQL API relies on Flink’s TypeInformation at different
> positions in the code base. The API uses it for conversion between
> DataSet/DataStream API, casting, and table schema representation. The
> planning for code generation and serialization of runtime operators.
> The past has shown that TypeInformation is useful when converting between
> DataSet/DataStream API, however, it does not integrate nicely with SQLs type
> system and depends on the programming language that is used.
> There is consensus to perform a big rework of the type system with a better
> long-term vision and closer semantics to other SQL vendors and the standard
> itself.
> FLIP-37 discusses the mid-term and long-term plan for supported types and
> their semantics.
