 Hi everyone,

 I would like to discuss deprecating Flinks' Twitter connector [1].
 This was one of the first connectors that was added to Flink, which 
 could
 be used to access the tweets from Twitter. Given the evolution of Flink
 over Twitter, I don't think that:

 * Users are still using this connector at all
 * That the code for this connector should be in the main Flink
 codebase.

 Given the circumstances, I would propose to deprecate and remove
 this connector. I'm looking forward to your thoughts. If you agree, 
 please
 also let me know if you think we should first deprecate it in Flink 
 1.15
 and remove it in a version after that, or if you think we can remove it
 directly.

 Hi,

 I agree with the concern about having this connector in the main repo.
 But I think in general it doesn't harm to have a sample connector to show
 how to develop a custom connector, and I think that the Twitter connector
 can be a good candidate for such a template. It needs rework for sure, as
 it has evident issues, notably it doesn't work with table.

 So i understand if we wanna remove what we have right now, but I think
 we should have some replacement for a "connector template", which is both
 ready to use and easy to hack to build your own connector starting from it.
 Twitter API is a good example for such a template, as it's both "related"
 to the known common use cases of Flink and because is quite simple to get
 started with.

Thanks @Martijn for driving this! +1 for deprecating and removing it. All
the concerns mentioned previously are valid. It is good to know that the
upcoming connector template/archetype will help the user for the kickoff.
Beyond that, speaking of using a real connector as a sample, since Flink is
heading towards the unified batch and stream processing, IMHO, it would be
nice to pick up a feasible connector for this trend to let the user get a
sample close to the use cases.

 I agree.

 The Twitter connector is used in a few (unofficial) tutorials, so if we
 remove it that will make it more difficult for those tutorials to be
 maintained. On the other hand, if I recall correctly, that connector uses
 V1 of the Twitter API, which has been deprecated, so it's really not very
 useful even for that purpose.

Hi everyone,

I would like to discuss deprecating Flinks' Twitter connector [1]. This was

I don't think that:

* Users are still using this connector at all
* That the code for this connector should be in the main Flink codebase.

Given the circumstances, I would propose to deprecate and remove this
connector. I'm looking forward to your thoughts. If you agree, please also
let me know if you think we should first deprecate it in Flink 1.15 and
remove it in a version after that, or if you think we can remove it
