------------------------------------
Summary: Disentangle flink-connector-kafka from flink-table and
flink-json
Key: FLINK-9461
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9461
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build System
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Reporter: Till Rohrmann
Fix For: 1.6.0
Currently, the {{flink-connector-kafka}} module has a dependency on
{{flink-table}} and {{flink-json}}. The reason seems to be that the module
contains the {{KafkaJsonTableSource}} and {{KafkaJsonTableSink}}. Even though
the {{flink-table}} and {{flink-json}} dependency are marked as optional, the
{{flink-connector-kafka}} will still contain the table sources and sinks. I
think this is not a clean design.
I would propose to move the table sources and sinks into a dedicated module
which depends on {{flink-connector-kafka}}. That way we would better separate
dependencies and could remove {{flink-table}} and {{flink-json}} from
{{flink-connector-kafka}}.
