             Summary: Deprecate TableEnvironment#connect API
                 Key: FLINK-18416
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-18416
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Jark Wu
            Assignee: Jark Wu
             Fix For: 1.11.0


In the past releases, the community focused on the new SQL DDL features and the {{TableEnvironment#connect}} API is not maintained for a long time. We have seen many (bug) issues around this APIs.

The {{TableEnvironment#connect()}} API might receive some refactoring in the next release. So we should deprecate the connect API in 1.11 and recommend users to use {{executeSql(ddl)}} instead. Thus, we can remove/refactor the existing {{connect()}} API in the next release even though it is API breaking.
