 Create a TableEnvironment
 -------------------------
 
-A `Table` is always bound to a specific `TableEnvironment`. It is not possible to combine Tables of different TableEnvironments.
+The `TableEnvironment` is a central concept of the Table API and SQL integration. It is responsible for:
 
-**TODO: Extend**
+* Registering a `Table` in the internal catalog
+* Registering an external catalog 
+* Executing SQL queries
+* Registering a user-defined (scalar, table, or aggregation) function
+* Converting a `DataStream` or `DataSet` into a `Table`
+* Holding a reference to an `ExecutionEnvironment` or `StreamExecutionEnvironment`
+
+A `Table` is always bound to a specific `TableEnvironment`. It is not possible to combine tables of different TableEnvironments in the same query, e.g., to join or union them.
+
+A `TableEnvironment` is created by calling the static `TableEnvironment.getTableEnvironment()` method with a `StreamExecutionEnvironment` or an `ExecutionEnvironment` and an optional `TableConfig`. The `TableConfig` can be used to configure the `TableEnvironment` or to customize the query optimization and translation process (see [Query Optimization](#query-optimization)).

 Register a Table in the Catalog
 -------------------------------
 
-`TableEnvironment`s have an internal table catalog to which tables can be registered with a unique name. After registration, a table can be accessed from the `TableEnvironment` by its name.
+A `TableEnvironment` has an internal catalog of tables, organized by table name. Table API or SQL queries can access tables which are registered in the catalog, by referencing them by name. 
+
+A `TableEnvironment` allows you to register a table from various sources:
+
+* an existing `Table` object, usually the result of a Table API or SQL query.
+* a `TableSource`, which accesses external data, such as a file, database, or messaging system. 
+* a `DataStream` or `DataSet` from a DataStream or DataSet program.
 
-*Note: `DataSet`s or `DataStream`s can be directly converted into `Table`s without registering them in the `TableEnvironment`. See [Create a Table from a DataStream or DataSet](#tbd) for details.
+Registering a `DataStream` or `DataSet` as a table is discussed in the [Integration with DataStream and DataSet API](#integration-with-datastream-and-dataset-api) section.
 
 ### Register a Table
 
-A `Table` that originates from a Table API operation or a SQL query is registered in a `TableEnvironment` as follows:

-A registered `Table` that originates from a Table API operation or SQL query is treated similarly as a view as known from relational DBMS, i.e., it can be inlined when optimizing the query.
+**Note:** A registered `Table` is treated similarly to a `VIEW` as known from relational database systems, i.e., the query that defines the `Table` is not optimized but will be inlined when another query references the registered `Table`. If multiple queries reference the same registered `Table`, it will be inlined for each referencing query and executed multiple times, i.e., the result of the registered `Table` will *not* be shared.

-### Register a TableSource
+Query a Table 
+-------------
 
-TableSources provided access to data stored in various storage systems such as databases (MySQL, HBase, ...), file formats (CSV, Apache Parquet, Avro, ORC, ...), or messaging systems (Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, ...). Flink provides a TableSources for common data formats and storage systems. Please have a look at the [Table Sources and Sinks page]({{ site.baseurl }}/dev/table/sourceSinks.html) for a list of provided TableSources and documentation for how to built your own.
+### Table API
 
-An external table is registered in a `TableEnvironment` using a `TableSource` as follows:
+The Table API is a language-integrated query API for Scala and Java. In contrast to SQL, queries are not specified as Strings but are composed step-by-step in the host language. 
+
+The API is based on the `Table` class which represents a table (streaming or batch) and offers methods to apply relational operations. These methods return a new `Table` object, which represents the result of applying the relational operation on the input `Table`. Some relational operations are composed of multiple method calls such as `table.groupBy(...).select()`, where `groupBy(...)` specifies a grouping of `table`, and `select(...)` the projection on the grouping of `table`.
+
+The [Table API]({{ site.baseurl }}/dev/table/tableapi.html) document describes all Table API operations that are supported on streaming and batch tables.
+
+The following example shows a simple Table API aggregation query:

+Table orders = tableEnv.scan("Orders");
+// compute revenue for all customers from France
+Table revenue = orders
+  .filter("cCountry === 'FRANCE'")
+  .groupBy("cID, cName")
+  .select("cID, cName, revenue.sum AS revSum");
 
-// register a `TableSource` as external table "Customers"

 {% endhighlight %}
+
+**Note:** The Scala Table API uses Scala Symbols, which start with a single tick (`'`) to reference the attributes of a `Table`. The Table API uses Scala implicits. Make sure to import `org.apache.flink.api.scala._` and `org.apache.flink.table.api.scala._` in order to use Scala implicit conversions.

-Register an External Catalog
-----------------------------
+### SQL
+
+Flink's SQL integration is based on [Apache Calcite](https://calcite.apache.org), which implements the SQL standard. SQL queries are specified as regular Strings.
 
-An external catalog is defined by the `ExternalCatalog` interface and provides information about databases and tables such as their name, schema, statistics, and access information. An `ExternalCatalog` is registered in a `TableEnvironment` as follows: 
+The [SQL]({{ site.baseurl }}/dev/table/sql.html) document describes Flink's SQL support for streaming and batch tables.

+### Mixing Table API and SQL
+
+Table API and SQL queries can be easily mixed because both return `Table` objects:
+
+* A Table API query can be defined on the `Table` object returned by a SQL query.
+* A SQL query can be defined on the result of a Table API query by [registering the resulting Table](#register-a-table) in the `TableEnvironment` and referencing it in the `FROM` clause of the SQL query.

-Create a Table from a DataStream or DataSet
--------------------------------------------
+Emit a Table 
+------------
 
-Besides registering a Table in a catalog, it is also possible to directly create a `Table` from a `DataStream` or `DataSet`. 
+In order to emit a `Table`, it can be written to a `TableSink`. A `TableSink` is a generic interface to support a wide variety of file formats (e.g. CSV, Apache Parquet, Apache Avro), storage systems (e.g., JDBC, Apache HBase, Apache Cassandra, Elasticsearch), or messaging systems (e.g., Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ). 
 
-### Create a Table from a DataStream
+A batch `Table` can only be written to a `BatchTableSink`, while a streaming table requires either an `AppendStreamTableSink`, a `RetractStreamTableSink`, or an `UpsertStreamTableSink`. 
 
-**TODO**
+Please see the documentation about [Table Sources & Sinks]({{ site.baseurl }}/dev/table/sourceSinks.html) for details about available sinks and instructions for how to implement a custom `TableSink`.

-Query a Table 
--------------
 
-### Table API
+Translate and Execute a Query
+-----------------------------
+
+Table API and SQL queries are translated into [DataStream]({{ site.baseurl }}/dev/datastream_api.html) or [DataSet]({{ site.baseurl }}/dev/batch) programs depending on whether their input is a streaming or batch input. A query is internally represented as a logical query plan and is translated in two phases: 
+
+1. optimization of the logical plan, 
+2. translation into a DataStream or DataSet program.
 
-**TODO**
+A Table API or SQL query is translated when:
+

-### SQL
+Integration with DataStream and DataSet API
+-------------------------------------------
 
-**TODO**
+Table API and SQL queries can be easily integrated with and embedded into [DataStream]({{ site.baseurl }}/dev/datastream_api.html) and [DataSet]({{ site.baseurl }}/dev/batch) programs. For instance, it is possible to query an external table (for example from a RDBMS), do some pre-processing, such as filtering, projecting, aggregating, or joining with meta data, and then further process the data with either the DataStream or DataSet API (and any of the libraries built on top of these APIs, such as CEP or Gelly). Inversely, a Table API or SQL query can also be applied on the result of a DataStream or DataSet program.
+
+This interaction can be achieved by converting a `DataStream` or `DataSet` into a `Table` and vice versa. In this section, we describe how these conversions are done.
+
+### Implicit Conversion for Scala
+
+The Scala Table API features implicit conversions for the `DataSet`, `DataStream`, and `Table` classes. These conversions are enabled by importing the package `org.apache.flink.table.api.scala._` in addition to `org.apache.flink.api.scala._` for the Scala DataStream API.
+
+### Register a DataStream or DataSet as Table
+
+A `DataStream` or `DataSet` can be registered in a `TableEnvironment` as a Table. The schema of the resulting table depends on the data type of the registered `DataStream` or `DataSet`. Please check the section about [mapping of data types to table schema](#mapping-of-data-types-to-table-schema) for details.

-Emit a Table 
-------------
+### Convert a Table into a DataStream or DataSet
+
+A `Table` can be converted into a `DataStream` or `DataSet`. In this way, custom DataStream or DataSet programs can be run on the result of a Table API or SQL query.
 
-### Emit to a TableSink
+When converting a `Table` into a `DataStream` or `DataSet`, you need to specify the data type of the resulting `DataStream` or `DataSet`, i.e., the data type into which the rows of the `Table` are to be converted. Often the most convenient conversion type is `Row`. The following list gives an overview of the features of the different options:
 
-A `Table` can be written to a `TableSink`, which is a generic interface to support a wide variety of file formats (e.g. CSV, Apache Parquet, Apache Avro), storage systems (e.g., JDBC, Apache HBase, Apache Cassandra, Elasticsearch), or messaging systems (e.g., Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ). A batch `Table` can only be written to a `BatchTableSink`, a streaming table requires a `StreamTableSink`. A `TableSink` can implement both interfaces at the same time.
+- **Row**: fields are mapped by position, arbitrary number of fields, support for `null` values, no type-safe access.
+- **POJO**: fields are mapped by name (POJO fields must be named as `Table` fields), arbitrary number of fields, support for `null` values, type-safe access.
+- **Case Class**: fields are mapped by position, no support for `null` values, type-safe access.
+- **Tuple**: fields are mapped by position, limitation to 22 (Scala) or 25 (Java) fields, no support for `null` values, type-safe access.
+- **Atomic Type**: `Table` must have a single field, no support for `null` values, type-safe access.
 
-Currently, Flink only provides a `CsvTableSink` that writes a batch or streaming `Table` to CSV-formatted files. A custom `TableSink` can be defined by implementing the `BatchTableSink` and/or `StreamTableSink` interface.
+#### Convert a Table into a DataStream
+
+A `Table` that is the result of a streaming query will be updated dynamically, i.e., it is changing as new records arrive on the query's input streams. Hence, the `DataStream` into which such a dynamic query is converted needs to encode the updates of the table. 
+
+There are two modes to convert a `Table` into a `DataStream`:
+
+1. **Append Mode**: This mode can only be used if the dynamic `Table` is only modified by `INSERT` changes, i.e, it is append-only and previously emitted results are never updated.
+2. **Retract Mode**: This mode can always be used. It encodes `INSERT` and `DELETE` changes with a `boolean` flag.

-### Convert to a DataStream
+### Mapping of Data Types to Table Schema
 
-**TODO**
+Flink's DataStream and DataSet APIs support very diverse types, such as Tuples (built-in Scala and Flink Java tuples), POJOs, case classes, and atomic types. In the following we describe how the Table API converts these types into an internal row representation and show examples of converting a `DataStream` into a `Table`.

+#### Atomic Types
 
-### Convert to a DataSet
+Flink treats primitives (`Integer`, `Double`, `String`) or generic types (types that cannot be analyzed and decomposed) as atomic types. A `DataStream` or `DataSet` of an atomic type is converted into a `Table` with a single attribute. The type of the attribute is inferred from the atomic type and the name of the attribute must be specified.

+Flink supports POJOs as composite types. The rules for what determines a POJO are documented [here]({{ site.baseurl }}/dev/api_concepts.html#pojos).
+
+When converting a POJO `DataStream` or `DataSet` into a `Table` without specifying field names, the names of the original POJO fields are used. Renaming the original POJO fields requires the keyword `AS` because POJO fields have no inherent order. The name mapping requires the original names and cannot be done by positions.

 Query Optimization
 ------------------
 
-* No join order yet
-* Filter / Projection push down
-* Custom rules
+Apache Flink leverages Apache Calcite to optimize and translate queries. The optimization currently performed include projection and filter push-down, subquery decorrelation, and other kinds of query rewriting. Flink does not yet optimize the order of joins, but executes them in the same order as defined in the query (order of Tables in the `FROM` clause and/or order of join predicates in the `WHERE` clause).
+
+It is possible to tweak the set of optimization rules which are applied in different phases by providing a `CalciteConfig` object. This can be created via a builder by calling `CalciteConfig.createBuilder())` and is provided to the TableEnvironment by calling `tableEnv.getConfig.setCalciteConfig(calciteConfig)`.
