@mjsax exactly. Let's at the moment I land in the following situtaion.
1. I want to create a job which includes the [statistics collection
facility proposed by
@tammymendt](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1297).
1. In order to do that, my project needs to set `flink-contrib` with scope
`compile` and use it in the final artifact (even if I am building a *thin* jar
which is going to be submitted to a standalone flink cluster).
1. The jar that turns out to be ~ 64 MB. Out of that, half of the bits are
taken by code is *guaranteed* to be in the classpath at rintime by virtue of
being included in the `$FLINK_DIR/lib/flink-dist-$VERSION.jar`.
1. Setting all transitive `flink-*` dependencies via `flink-contrib` as
`provided` reduces the size to ~ 32 MB by default.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: flink-contrib
> Affects Versions: 0.10, 0.9.1

> Labels: easyfix, maven, patch
> Fix For: 0.10, 0.9.1

>
> The {{flink-contrib}} folder is assumed to be provided by the user. As such,
> other {{flink-*}} dependencies referenced within {{flink-contrib}} should be
> set as _'provided'_ in order to keep the size of the user jars down. I'm
> currently testing a patch that changes the poms as suggested and will open a
> PR on GitHub if this everything passes.
