------------------------------------
[~twalthr], This dependency aims to solve the problem which reported in
[FLINK-16464|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16464]. When I
implement [FLINK-16366|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16366], I
discussed offline with the author of whether we need this dependency or we do
the similar work by ourself. We find there's a lot of lines of code. So I
introduce `com.ibm.icu` dependency in table-common. I mark the scope of the
dependency as provided to avoid packaging `com.ibm.icu` into table-common.jar.
If we really want to remove this dependency, I agree we can copy some utility
methods into table-common.
> Remove `com.ibm.icu` dependency from table-common
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-17521
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17521
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Table SQL / API
> Reporter: Timo Walther
> Priority: Major
>
> The `com.ibm.icu` dependency has been added recently to the `table-common`
> module.
> Since this module is used by many connectors and libraries, we should discuss
> to remove it again.
> Especially, because now there is also another `Row.of()` in the classpath of
> the API. Which can be very confusing.
