There's definitely consensus on externalizing the flink connectors! I've been tracking the progress and I'd be happy to provide support on Cassandra if you'd like.
There's some new information at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Externalized+Connector+development The first step to externalizing Cassandra would be for a PMC member to create the flink-connector-cassandra repository for the project. If I understand correctly, this shouldn't block your PR, since the core connector (inside apache/flink) and the external one (apache/flink-cassandra-connector) should be kept in sync for one major release cycle. For my own benefit, I can start by reviewing your PR!
