Interface ModuleFactory

All Superinterfaces:

Factory, TableFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

CoreModuleFactory

@PublicEvolving
public interface ModuleFactory
extends TableFactory, Factory

A factory to create configured module instances based on string-based properties. See also Factory for more information.

Note that this interface supports the TableFactory stack for compatibility purposes. This is deprecated, however, and new implementations should implement the Factory stack instead.

Method Detail

createModule

@Deprecated
default Module createModule(Map<String,String> properties)

Deprecated. Use createModule(Context) instead and implement Factory instead of TableFactory.

Creates and configures a Module using the given properties.

Parameters:

properties - normalized properties describing a module.

Returns:

the configured module.

createModule

default Module createModule(ModuleFactory.Context context)

Creates and configures a Module.

factoryIdentifier

default String factoryIdentifier()

Description copied from interface: Factory

Returns a unique identifier among same factory interfaces.

For consistency, an identifier should be declared as one lower case word (e.g. kafka). If multiple factories exist for different versions, a version should be appended using "-" (e.g. elasticsearch-7).

factoryIdentifier in interface Factory

requiredOptions

default Set<org.apache.flink.configuration.ConfigOption<?>> requiredOptions()

Description copied from interface: Factory

Returns a set of ConfigOption that an implementation of this factory requires in addition to Factory.optionalOptions().

See the documentation of Factory for more information.

Specified by:

requiredOptions in interface Factory

optionalOptions

default Set<org.apache.flink.configuration.ConfigOption<?>> optionalOptions()

Description copied from interface: Factory

Returns a set of ConfigOption that an implementation of this factory consumes in addition to Factory.requiredOptions().

See the documentation of Factory for more information.

Specified by:

optionalOptions in interface Factory

requiredContext

@Deprecated
default Map<String,String> requiredContext()

Deprecated. Implement the Factory based stack instead.

Description copied from interface: TableFactory

Specifies the context that this factory has been implemented for. The framework guarantees to only match for this factory if the specified set of properties and values are met.

Typical properties might be: - connector.type - format.type

Specified property versions allow the framework to provide backwards compatible properties in case of string format changes: - connector.property-version - format.property-version

An empty context means that the factory matches for all requests.

Specified by:

requiredContext in interface TableFactory

supportedProperties

@Deprecated
default List<String> supportedProperties()

Deprecated. Implement the Factory based stack instead.

Description copied from interface: TableFactory

List of property keys that this factory can handle. This method will be used for validation. If a property is passed that this factory cannot handle, an exception will be thrown. The list must not contain the keys that are specified by the context.

Example properties might be: - schema.#.type - schema.#.name - connector.topic - format.line-delimiter - format.ignore-parse-errors - format.fields.#.type - format.fields.#.name

Note: Use "#" to denote an array of values where "#" represents one or more digits. Property versions like "format.property-version" must not be part of the supported properties.

In some cases it might be useful to declare wildcards "*". Wildcards can only be declared at the end of a property key.

For example, if an arbitrary format should be supported: - format.*

Note: Wildcards should be used with caution as they might swallow unsupported properties and thus might lead to undesired behavior.
