> I would suggest to start thinking about the dependencies the following way:
> There are pure user-code projects where the Flink runtime is "provided"
> and they are started using an existing Flink setup (bin/flink run or REST
> entry point). This is the Framework Style.
> In the future, we will have "Flink as a Library" deployments, where users
> add something like flink-dist as a library to their program and then simply
> dockerize that Java application.
> Code can be run in the IDE or other similar style embedded forms. This is
> in some sense also a "Flink as a Library" deployment, but with selective
> (fewer) dependencies. The RocksDB issue applies only to this scenario here.
> To make this simpler for the users, it would be great to have not N different
> models that we talk about, but ideally only two: Framework Style and Library
> Style. We could for example start to advocate and document that users should
> always use flink-dist as their standard dependency - "provided" in the
> framework style deployment, "compile" in the library style deployment. That
> might be a really easy way to work with that. The only problem for the time
> being is that flink-dist is quite big and contains for example also optional
> dependencies like flink-table, which makes it more heavyweight for
> quickstarts. Maybe we can accept that as a trade-off for dependency
> simplicity.
