             Summary: Unify identifiers in the interface methods of 
CatalogManager
                 Key: FLINK-15859
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15859
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Table SQL / API
            Reporter: Dawid Wysakowicz
             Fix For: 1.11.0


We're not being too consistent with the type of identifier that the 
FunctionCatalog/CatalogManager accepts.

Some methods accept {{UnresolvedIdentifier}} e.g. 
{{FunctionCatalog#registerTemporaryCatalogFunction}}, 
{{CatalogManager#dropTemporaryView}}. 

Some resolved {{ObjectIdentifier}} e.g. 
{{CatalogManager#createTemporaryTable}}, {{CatalogManager#createTable}}.

I am not sure which one should we prefer. If we go with the 
{{UnresolvedIdentifier}} the benefit is that we always qualify it in a 
{{Catalog*}}. The downside is that we would use {{UnresolvedIdentifier}} in 
{{*Operations}}, (e.g. {{CreateTableOperation}} etc.), whereas we said that all 
Operations should be fully resolved...
