"深入理解大数据之flink教程-TableAPI和SQL学习指南"

The document "大数据之flink教程-TableAPI和SQL.docx" provides a comprehensive overview of Table API and Flink SQL, which are high-level processing APIs for batch and stream unified processing in Apache Flink. The Table API is an embedded query API in Java and Scala that allows users to intuitively combine relational operations such as select, filter, and join. On the other hand, Flink SQL allows users to write SQL directly into code to perform queries. Both Table API and Flink SQL have the same semantics and produce the same results, regardless of whether the input is in batch or stream format. As of now, the functionality of Table API and SQL is still under active development and is not yet fully mature. These APIs require two main dependencies for implementation: planner and bridge. The Apache Calcite, an open-source SQL parsing tool, is used as the basis for Flink's SQL support. Overall, Table API and Flink SQL provide a user-friendly and efficient way to perform queries and operations on data in Apache Flink, and are key components in leveraging the batch and stream unified processing capabilities of the framework. This document serves as a valuable resource for those looking to understand and utilize these APIs in their big data processing workflows.
