             Summary: Build xTableSource from Avro schemas
                 Key: FLINK-9813
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9813
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Table API & SQL
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0
            Reporter: François Lacombe


As Avro provide efficient data schemas formalism, it may be great to be able to build Flink Tables Sources with such files.

More info about Avro schemas :[https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/spec.html#schemas]

For instance, with CsvTableSource :

Parser schemaParser = new Schema.Parser();

Schema tableSchema = schemaParser.parse("avro.json");

Builder bld = CsvTableSource.builder().schema(tableSchema);

 

This would give me a fully available CsvTableSource with columns defined in avro.json

It may be possible to do so for every TableSources since avro format is really common and versatile.
