----------------------------------

             Summary: Add Table#collect api for fetching data to client
                 Key: FLINK-14807
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14807
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jeff Zhang


Currently, it is very unconvinient for user to fetch data of flink job unless specify sink expclitly and then fetch data from this sink via its api (e.g. write to hdfs sink, then read data from hdfs). However, most of time user just want to get the data and do whatever processing he want. So it is very necessary for flink to provide api Table#collect for this purpose. 

 

Other apis such as Table#head, Table#print is also helpful.
