Hi Team, During some, mostly unrelated work we come to realize that during the externalization of the connector's python modules and the related tests are not moved to the respective connectors repository. We created the jiras [1] to create the infra, and to move the python code and the tests to the respective repos.
When working on this code, I have found several oddities, which I would like to hear the community's opinion on: - Does anyone know what the site-packages/pyflink/opt/flink-sql-client-1.18.0.jar supposed to do? We specifically put it there [2], but then we ignore it when we check the directory of jars [3]. If there is no objection, I would remove it. - I would like to use the `opt` directory, to contain optional jars created by the connectors, like flink-sql-connector-kafka-3.1.x.jar. Also, the lint-python.sh [4], and install_command.sh [5] provides the base of the testing infra. Would there be any objections to mark these as a public apis for the connectors? Thanks, Peter [1] - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-33528 [2] - https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/2da9a9639216b8c48850ee714065f090a80dcd65/flink-python/apache-flink-libraries/setup.py#L129-L130 [3] - https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/2da9a9639216b8c48850ee714065f090a80dcd65/flink-python/pyflink/pyflink_gateway_server.py#L183-L190 [4] - https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-python/dev/lint-python.sh [5] - https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-python/dev/install_command.sh
