---------------------------------------
Github user StephanEwen commented on the pull request:
https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1331#issuecomment-157378685
Two questions:
1. The `chill-avro` dependency is added nowhere. Is it not necessary any
more?
2. It is necessary to add the chill dependency also to `flink-clients`? Is
that not covered by `flink-scala`. Asked differently, is there a need for Chill
to be in the classpath of user code programs that do not use the Scala API?
> Remove Twitter Chill dependency from flink-java module

>
> The {{flink-java}} module has a transitive dependency on Scala due to
> Twitter's Chill library. Chill is used within Flink's KryoSerializer to
> obtain a Kryo instance that has be initialized for Scala classes.
> In order to decouple {{flink-java}} from Scala, its dependency on Chill needs
> to be removed.
