Bowen Li updated FLINK-10769:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
In the Flink-Hive integration design, we propose a new FlinkInMemoryCatalog 
(FLINK-10697) for production use. FlinkInMemoryCatalog will share some part 
with the existing InMemoryExternalCatalog, thus we need to make changes to 
InMemoryExternalCatalog.

Background: there are two parallel efforts going on right now - FLINK-10686, 
driven by Timo, includes moving external catalogs APIs from flink-table to 
flink-table-common, also from Scala to Java; FLINK-10744 I'm working on right 
now to integrate Flink with Hive and enhance external catalog functionality.

As discussed with @twalthr in FLINK-10689, we'd better parallelize these 
efforts while introducing minimal overhead for integrating them later. An 
agreed way is to writing new code/feature related to external catalogs/hive in 
Java in flink-table. This way, it will minimize migration efforts later to move 
these new code into flink-table-common. If existing classes are modified for a 
feature we can start migrating it to Java in a separate commit first and then 
perform the actual feature changes, and migrated classes can be placed in 
flink-table/src/main/java until we find a better module structure.

Therefore, we will port InMemoryExternalCatalog to java first. This PR only 
port scala to java with NO feature or behavior change. This is a pre-requisite 
for FLINK-10697

with the existing InMemoryExternalCatalog, thus we need to make changes to 
InMemoryExternalCatalog.

As we are moving away from Scala to Java, we should write all new code/feature 
in Java. Therefore, we will port InMemoryExternalCatalog to java first without 
any feature or behavior change.

This is a pre-requisite for FLINK-10697
