Chesnay Schepler created FLINK-29866:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Split flink-dist
Key: FLINK-29866
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-29866
Project: Flink
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Build System
Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
Assignee: Chesnay Schepler
Fix For: 1.17.0
Users currently have to setup dependencies to various Flink dependencies (APIs
like streaming-java, formats, connectors etc), and have to set the scope for
each of these correctly w.r.t. what is actually provided by the distribution.
This is unnecessarily tedious and error-prone, made worse by some special-cases
like connector-files or the json/csv formats being bundled.
I propose to create a new module {{flink-dist-pub}} (name pending!) that acts
as a sort-of BOM for what is in the distribution (specifically the flink-dist
jar) that is relevant for common DataStream application development.
As follow-ups we could consider creating a table API extension of this module,
and publish fat jars for the use-case of [~thw] in FLINK-29497.
