Bowen Li created FLINK-8175:
-------------------------------
Summary: remove flink-streaming-contrib and migrate its classes to
flink-streaming-java/scala
Key: FLINK-8175
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8175
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Reporter: Bowen Li
I propose removing flink-streaming-contrib from flink-contrib, and migrating
its classes to flink-streaming-java/scala for the following reasons:
- flink-streaming-contrib is so small that it only has 4 classes (3 java and 1
scala), and they don't need a dedicated jar for Flink to distribute and
maintain it and for users to deal with the overhead of dependency management
- the 4 classes in flink-streaming-contrib are logically more tied to
flink-streaming-java/scala, and thus can be easily migrated
- flink-contrib is already too crowded and noisy. It contains lots of sub
modules with different purposes which confuse developers and users, and they
lack a proper project hierarchy
According to the history of flink-streaming-contrib, it has things to do with
storm-compatibility and I believe that's not blocking us from migrating it
anymore.
