TABLE API + DataStream outsourcing schema or Pojo?

Hi guys ,

It's been a while since I'm studying TABLE APIs for integration into my
system.
when i take a look on this documentation
:
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.9/dev/table/connect.html#connectors


I understand that it is possible to apply a JSON FORMAT on the connector
and apply a JSON-SCHEMA without any hardcoded  java pojo
.jsonSchema(
      "{" +
      "  type: 'object'," +
      "  properties: {" +
      "    lon: {" +
      "      type: 'number'" +
      "    }," +
      "    rideTime: {" +
      "      type: 'string'," +
      "      format: 'date-time'" +
      "    }" +
      "  }" +
      "}"
    )


    but my problematic is the following my data comes from REST-API , so I
have to process the data and transmit it via a DataStream
    the problem is that between the conversation of a dataStream and a
table must pass through a Java Pojo. Datastream<YourPojo>  input....
 Table table=tEnv.fromDataStream(input);
    I tried a trick while making a conversation from my JSON to AVRO using
a GenericRecord but it does not seem possible .

    my user case and being able to add REST-API processing  in runtime and
be able to outsource and dynamically load my Pojo / Schema without harcode
an Java-Pojo object


Do you have an approach to suggest me ?


Thank a lot

Hi Steve,

The memory catalog does not persist metadata and needs to be repopulated
everytime.
However, you can implement a catalog that persists the metadata to a file
or a database.

There is an effort to implement a Catalog interface of Hive's metastore.
A preview is available in the latest release (1.9.0)

Best, Fabian

Hi Fabian ,

thank you for your answer it is indeed the solution that I am currently
testing
i use TypeInformation<Row> convert =
JsonRowSchemaConverter.convert(JSON_SCHEMA);     provided by the
flink-json  and provide the TypeFormation to the operatorStream
its look like to work :) with this solution my schema can be outside my
package

one additional question about .  GenericMemoryCatalog
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.9/dev/table/catalogs.html
 .
catalog can be use accross multiple job running on the same cluster ? or
the catalog are  scoped on the job session only ?

DataStream<JsonNode> dataStreamJson = dataStream.map(new
MapFunction<String, JsonNode>() {
    @Override
    public JsonNode map(String s) throws Exception {
        ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
        JsonNode node = objectMapper.readTree(s);
        return node;
    }
});
DataStream<Row> dataStreamRow = dataStreamJson.map(new
MapFunction<JsonNode, Row>() {
    @Override
    public Row map(JsonNode jsonNode) throws Exception {
        int pos = 0;
        Row row = new Row(jsonNode.size());
        Iterator<String> iterator = jsonNode.fieldNames();
        while (iterator.hasNext()) {
            String key = iterator.next();
            row.setField(pos, jsonNode.get(key).asText());
            pos++;
        }
        return row;
    }
}).returns(convert);

Table tableA = tEnv.fromDataStream(dataStreamRow);

Hi Steve,

Maybe you could implement a custom TableSource that queries the data from
the rest API and converts the JSON directly into a Row data type.
This would also avoid going through the DataStream API just for ingesting
the data.

Best, Fabian
