    Component/s: Table SQL / Ecosystem

> Format docs incorrectly contain "format" property
> -------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: FLINK-21064
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21064
>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Documentation, Table SQL / Ecosystem
>    Affects Versions: 1.12.0, 1.12.1
>            Reporter: Ingo Bürk
>            Priority: Minor
>
> In the Flink docs, all formats document the "format" property as required. However, this is actually a property of the connector, not the format.
> Prior to 1.12 this was only an issue for custom connectors as all of Flink's connectors by convention had a "format" property. With 1.12+, the Kafka connector made the "format" property non-required as users can instead use "value.format". Although being synonyms, this now logically breaks the documentation of the Formats stating that "format" is a required property.
