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

             Summary: Create a string table format factory
                 Key: FLINK-9963
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9963
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Table API & SQL
            Reporter: Timo Walther


Sometimes it might be useful to just read or write a string into Kafka or other connectors. We should add a simple string {{SerializationSchemaFactory}} and {{DeserializationSchemaFactory}}. How we want to represent all data types and nested types is still up for discussion. We could also support just a single string field?

Schema derivation should be supported by the factories.

See {{org.apache.flink.formats.json.JsonRowFormatFactory}} for a reference.
