Bowen Li commented on FLINK-10686:
----------------------------------
I'd vote for this, and hope it can be done ASAP so all the coming Flink-Hive
integration work can depend on Java only.
> 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
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Reporter: Timo Walther
> Assignee: Timo Walther
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.7.0
>
>
> 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.
