Hi Hongshun, The mentioned module is part of the internal infrastructure that runs the e2e tests for the connector. Afaik, Flink doesn't officially publish this type of module because they are only used to ease internal testing. I do not know why other vendors have started publishing them. If you rely on classes from these modules, you can raise a case on the ML to find a better place outside of the e2e module that is more accessible.
