Greg Hogan commented on FLINK-4315: ----------------------------------- The general challenge would be keeping a 2.0 branch in sync with master for the next N years. Also, I expect this ticket to be accepted for 2.0 but there are API changes which might be rejected. Having a 2.0 branch would require making present decisions on these future changes. > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
