Thanks for opening a PR for this topic @dawidwys. I wish we could avoid this but I don't see a possibility to prevent this change. The clash with the Scala macro and the annoying `_root_.scala` are very annoying API design fails that almost every user will observe eventually. Looking at the `WordCount` example shows easy and understandable imports now: ``` import org.apache.flink.table.api._ import org.apache.flink.table.api.bridge.scala._ ``` And this is what we should aim for. Given that the user base is growing rapidly, we do this rather sooner than later. Given the amount of API that we have already changed, a simple update of the import line on the top is a rather easy change to apply. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
