----------------------------------------
Summary: Ban unused dependencies
Key: FLINK-16171
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16171
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
Assignee: Chesnay Schepler
Flink's dependency graph is filled with unused dependencies, among others
* adding noise in the dependency tree that make it harder to reason about which
modules are affected by a dependency change,
* potentially reducing developer productivity by requiring more modules to be
compiled than necessary (e.g., when using mavens {{-am}} switch,
* adding additional work during license checks.
We should comb the project and remove all unused dependencies, and properly
document those that are detected as unused (usually because they are accessed
indirectly).
