• Type: Sub-task
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Implemented
• Fix Version/s: 1.10.0
• Component/s: Table SQL / API, Table SQL / Legacy Planner, Table SQL / Planner
• Labels: pull-request-available

Release Note

Methods such as registerTable/registerDataStream/registerDataSet become deprecated in favor of createTemporaryView which better adhere to the corresponding SQL term.

Scan method becomes deprecated in favor of from method.

Methods registerTableSource/registerTableSink become deprecated in favor of ConnectTableDescriptor#createTemporaryTable. That method expects only a set of string properties as a description of a TableSource or TableSinks instead of an instance of a class in case of the deprecated methods. This in return make it possible to reliably store those definitions in catalogs.

Methods insertInto(String path, String... pathContinued was removed in favor of in insertInto(String path).

All the newly introduced methods accept a String identifier which will be parsed into a 3-part identifier. The parser supports quoting the identifier. It also requires escaping any reserved SQL keywords.
