Interface DecodingFormatFactory<I>

Type Parameters:
I - runtime interface needed by the table source
All Superinterfaces:
Factory, FormatFactory
All Known Subinterfaces:
DeserializationFormatFactory

@PublicEvolving public interface DecodingFormatFactory<I> extends FormatFactory
Base interface for configuring a DecodingFormat for ScanTableSource and LookupTableSource.

Depending on the kind of external system, a connector might support different encodings for reading and writing rows. This interface helps in making such formats pluggable.

The created Format instance is an intermediate representation that can be used to construct runtime implementation in a later step.
