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

             Summary: Register Pojo DataSet/DataStream as Table requires alias expression.
                 Key: FLINK-4077
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4077
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Table API
    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
            Reporter: Fabian Hueske
            Assignee: Fabian Hueske
             Fix For: 1.1.0


Registering a Pojo DataSet / DataStream as Table requires alias expressions and does not work with simple field references. However, alias expressions would only be necessary if the fields of the Pojo should be renamed.

{code}
DataStream<Person> persons = ...

// DOES NOT WORK
tEnv.registerDataStream(
  "Persons",
  persons,
  "name, age, address");

// DOES WORK
tEnv.registerDataStream(
  "Persons",
  persons,
  "name AS name, age AS age, address AS address");
{code}

We should also allow simple field name references in addition to alias expressions to rename fields.
