@mushketyk no worries :-)
@wuchong Since the methods are only added when needed by implementing the
interface there is no default implementation. The logic of the default
implementation (calling the static method of `TableEnvironment`) is directly
put into the `TableSourceTable` and only replaced if the table source
implements the new interface.
> Extend TableSource to support nested data

> Key: FLINK-5280
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5280
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Reporter: Fabian Hueske
> Assignee: Ivan Mushketyk
>
> The {{TableSource}} interface does currently only support the definition of
> flat rows.
> However, there are several storage formats for nested data that should be
> supported such as Avro, Json, Parquet, and Orc. The Table API and SQL can
> also natively handle nested rows.
> The {{TableSource}} interface and the code to register table sources in
> Calcite's schema need to be extended to support nested data.
