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

             Summary: Add a CSV table format factory
                 Key: FLINK-9964
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9964
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Table API & SQL
            Reporter: Timo Walther


We should add a RFC 4180 compliant CSV table format factory to read and write data into Kafka and other connectors. This requires a {{SerializationSchemaFactory}} and {{DeserializationSchemaFactory}}. How we want to represent all data types and nested types is still up for discussion. For example, we could flatten and deflatten nested types as it is done [here|http://support.gnip.com/articles/json2csv.html]. We can also have a look how tools such as the Avro to CSV tool perform the conversion.
