Description

As stated in the [documentation|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/table/udfs.html#table-functions,] this is how table functions should be used in Java Table API:

// Register the function.
tableEnv.registerFunction("split", new Split("#"));

myTable.join("split(a) as (word, length)");

However Table.join(String) was removed sometime ago and now it is impossible to use Table Functions in Java Table API.
