-----------------------------------------
Summary: ArchitectureTests should test for canonical class names
instead of Class objects
Key: FLINK-33199
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-33199
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tests
Reporter: Alexander Fedulov
Currently architecture tests rely on importing such classes as
MiniClusterExtension. This introduces a production scope dependency on
flink-test-utils which in turn depends on flink-streaming-java. This is
problematic because adding architecture tests to any direct or transitive
dependency of flink-streaming-java creates a dependency cycle.
Example: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/22850#discussion_r1243343382
In general, since architecture tests are supposed to be used freely in any
submodule, it is desirable to reduce its dependency surface as much as possible
to prevent such cycles.
This can be achieved by moving away from using Class objects and employing
fully qualified type names checks instead.
