Please read these notes carefully if you are +planning to upgrade your Flink version to 2.2. + +### Table SQL / API + +#### Support VECTOR_SEARCH in Flink SQL + +##### [FLINK-38422](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-38422) + +Apache Flink has supported leveraging LLM capabilities through the `ML_PREDICT` function in Flink SQL +since version 2.1, enabling users to perform semantic analysis in a simple and efficient way. This +integration has been technically validated in scenarios such as log classification and real-time +question-answering systems. However, the current architecture allows Flink to only use embedding +models to convert unstructured data (e.g., text, images) into high-dimensional vector features, +which are then persisted to downstream storage systems. It lacks real-time online querying and +similarity analysis capabilities for vector spaces. The VECTOR_SEARCH function is provided in Flink +2.2 to enable users to perform streaming vector similarity searches and real-time context retrieval +directly within Flink. + +See more details about the capabilities and usages of +Flink's [Vector Search](https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-2.2/docs/dev/table/sql/queries/vector-search/). + +#### Realtime AI Function + +##### [FLINK-38104](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-38104) + +Apache Flink has supported leveraging LLM capabilities through the `ML_PREDICT` function in Flink SQL +since version 2.1. In Flink 2.2, the Table API also supports model inference operations that allow +you to integrate machine learning models directly into your data processing pipelines. + +#### Materialized Table + +##### [FLINK-38532](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-38532), [FLINK-38311](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-38311) + +Materialized Table is a new table type introduced in Flink SQL, aimed at simplifying both batch and +stream data pipelines, providing a consistent development experience. By specifying data freshness +and query when creating Materialized Table, the engine automatically derives the schema for the +materialized table and creates corresponding data refresh pipeline to achieve the specified freshness. + +From Flink 2.2, the FRESHNESS clause is not a mandatory part of the CREATE MATERIALIZED TABLE and +CREATE OR ALTER MATERIALIZED TABLE DDL statements. Flink 2.2 introduces a new MaterializedTableEnricher +interface. This provides a formal extension point for customizable default logic, allowing advanced +users and vendors to implement "smart" default behaviors (e.g., inferring freshness from upstream tables). + +Besides this, users can use `DISTRIBUTED INTO` or`DISTRIBUTED INTO` to support bucketing concept Review Comment: Fixed as `DISTRIBUTED BY` or`DISTRIBUTED INTO` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
