Chesnay Schepler commented on FLINK-10728:
------------------------------------------
{{flink-shaded}} is a collection of modified dependencies of Flink that don't
interfere with dependencies provided by a user. This was once part of Flink
itself, but was moved into a separate project to reduce complexity of the core
project and simplify it's dependency management.
Every Flink release (since 1.3 I believe) also contains {{flink-shaded}}.
According to the [ASF Release
Policy|https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-distribution]:
"_all artifacts MUST be uploaded to the project's subdirectory within the
canonical Apache distribution channel_". Not distributing said artifacts via
{{dist.apache.org}} should imply that {{flink-shaded}} is not released as an
official ASF release, but if it isn't an official ASF release we can't
distribute it at all via channels that would allow Flink to use it (i.e. maven
central).
