[jira] [Created] (FLINK-19977) Add new toDataStream and toDataStream

Timo Walther created FLINK-19977:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Add new toDataStream and toDataStream
                 Key: FLINK-19977
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19977
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Table SQL / API
            Reporter: Timo Walther


The DataStream API itself is not a changelog processor. Therefore, in most of the cases, the DataStream API produces insert-only events of different data types. Insert-only semantics make the handling of different record types easier because we don't require a Row or RowData to contain a RowKind flag. It is therefore possible to offer the conversion of any data type to an insert-only table, without the necessity of performing manual schema work. 

Goal: Convert between table and DataStream as easy as possible.
