Jark Wu commented on FLINK-4244:
--------------------------------

Yes, we just merged [FLINK-2985] , but not update the document. I will update it. 


 [FLINK-2985] Allow different field names for unionAll() in Table API.

> Flink Table API's documentation says that the schemas of unioned tables have to be identical (wrt types and names). However, union works also with tables where the types are identical but not the names:
> {code}
> val input1Seq = 0 until 10 map {x => (x, ('a' + x).toChar.toString, x.toDouble)}
>     val input2Seq = 0 until 10 map {x => (x, ('a' + x).toChar.toString, x.toDouble)}
>     val inputDS1 = env.fromCollection(input1Seq)
>     val inputDS2 = env.fromCollection(input2Seq)
>     val input1 = tblEnv.fromDataSet(inputDS1, 'a, 'b, 'c)
>     tblEnv.registerTable("foobar", input1)
>     val input2 = tblEnv.fromDataSet(inputDS2, 'd, 'e, 'f)
>     tblEnv.registerTable("foobar2", input2)
>     val result = tblEnv.sql("SELECT * FROM foobar UNION ALL SELECT * FROM foobar2")
>     tblEnv.toDataSet[Row](result).print()
> {code}
> We should update the documentation accordingly.
