---------------------------------------------------------------------
The current flink-connector-cassandra is packaged into a fat-jar with the
Cassandra driver shaded inside it. This is very inconvenient: a user cannot
upgrade the Cassandra driver to benefit from a bugfix.
Instead it would better to:
* declare a dependency on the Cassandra driver 4.13.0 (or the latest from 4
series)
* package flink-connector-cassandra as a normal jar, not fat-jar
* say that any backward compatible update to Cassandra driver is supported
(namely any 4.13.x)
Thus users will be able to use any backward compatible Cassandra driver in
their applications and benefit from bugfixes.
