Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-4315:
-------------------------------------
I think we can merge this only for Flink 2.0, since it would break binary
compatibility (moving public methods to different classes).
You can open a pull request now, but so far, there has been no discussion about
when Flink 2.0 will come. There will almost certainly be another version 1.2
(as it looks now), so the earliest this could be merged is probably next year
(if I project from the current release cycle).
> Remove Hadoop Dependency from flink-java
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-4315
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4315
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Java API
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: Evgeny Kincharov
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> The API projects should be independent of Hadoop, because Hadoop is not an
> integral part of the Flink stack, and we should have the option to offer
> Flink without Hadoop dependencies.
> The current batch APIs have a hard dependency on Hadoop, mainly because the
> API has utility methods like `readHadoopFile(...)`.
> I suggest to remove those methods and instead add helpers in the
> `flink-hadoop-compatibility` project.
