Márton Balassi created FLINK-1340:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Project restructure
Key: FLINK-1340
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1340
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Task
Components: Java API, Scala API, Streaming
Affects Versions: 0.9
Reporter: Márton Balassi
During a recent PR of the streaming scala api [1] arose the issue of possibly
changing the project structure. For the discussion it seems to me that we
should address this as a separate issue. Things to note:
* According to Stephan for the batch part, there are discussions
to combine the "flink-core", "flink-java" projects, possibly also the
"flink-scala" project. We are starting to see too many interdependencies. [2]
* Streaming is currently under flink-addons, but we are positive that for
the next version we can come up with a fairly stable api if needed. We would
like to have it top level eventually.
* Minor issue to keep in mind: Developing our projects with both scala and
java nature seems a bit flaky at the moment at least for Eclipse. [3] Proposed
solutions are also there, just let us make sure to give new developers a smooth
experience with Flink.
I personally like the following suggestion: [2]
We could, in the next version, go for something like
- flink-core (core and batch, java & scala)
- flink-streaming (java & scala)
- flink-runtime
- ...
Ufuk also +1'd this.
