[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-19116) Support more kinds of data for expressions.lit in the Python Table API

["Dian Fu (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19116?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17192680#comment-17192680 ] 

Dian Fu commented on FLINK-19116:
---------------------------------

After discussing with [~zhongwei] offline, I think this problem doesn't exist and we could work around it. For example, If users want to create a literal of Date type, users could use `lit("2013-01-01").to_date`. I'm closing this ticket for now.

> For expressions.lit,
> {code}
> Current implementation only support the basic type like int, str, bool... It would be better if we support more data type like BigDecimal, Timestamp and other atomic/complex datatypes. We can find all supported types according the Java class org.apache.flink.table.types.utils.ValueDataTypeConverter.
