TisonKun commented on FLINK-10686: ---------------------------------- I like this proposal and volunteer to be a reviewer. Go ahead! Also I think table API might be further recommended approach for user to write their application. Thus refactor (including this) is welcome to me. > Introduce a flink-table-common module > ------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-10686 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10686 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Table API & SQL > Reporter: Timo Walther > Assignee: Timo Walther > Priority: Major > > Because more and more table factories for connectors and formats are added > and external catalog support is also on the horizon, {{flink-table}} becomes > a dependency for many Flink modules. Since {{flink-table}} is implemented in > Scala it requires other modules to be suffixes with Scala prefixes. However, > as we have learned in the past, Scala code is hard to maintain which is why > our long-term goal is to avoid Scala/Scala dependencies. > Therefore we propose a new module {{flink-table-common}} that contains > interfaces between {{flink-table}} and other modules. This module is > implemented in Java and should contain minimal (or better no) external > dependencies. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
