Robert Metzger updated FLINK-16171:
-----------------------------------
Component/s: Build System
> Ban unused dependencies
> -----------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-16171
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16171
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build System
> Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
> Assignee: Chesnay Schepler
> Priority: Major
>
> Flink's dependency graph is filled with unused dependencies, among others
> * adding noise in the dependency tree that make it harder to reason about
> which modules are affected by a dependency change,
> * potentially reducing developer productivity by requiring more modules to be
> compiled than necessary (e.g., when using mavens {{-am}} switch,
> * adding additional work during license checks.
> We should comb the project and remove all unused dependencies, and properly
> document those that are detected as unused (usually because they are accessed
> indirectly).
