Build a JSON_Object value in Flink SQL

Question

I have a Flink Table for which I want to write a select query that will return a JSON Object based on some fields.

Here is the query I want to do (based on calcite syntax: https://calcite.apache.org/docs/reference.html#constructor-functions ):

SELECT 
    myIdField,
    aFloatField,
    JSON_OBJECT('aFieldName':aFloatField)
FROM myTable

But when I try to use this query with Flink, I get the following error:

org.apache.flink.table.api.ValidationException: SQL validation failed. No match found for function signature JSON_OBJECT(<null>, , )

What is the good way to do so? I can't find anything about this in Flink documentation.

Answer 1

JSON_OBJECT is supported in Flink 1.15:
