Labels: usability (was: )
> Load connector code with separate classloader
> ---------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-15786
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15786
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Runtime / Task
> Reporter: Guowei Ma
> Priority: Major
> Labels: usability
>
> Currently, connector code can be seen as part of user code. Usually, users
> only need to add the corresponding connector as a dependency and package it
> in the user jar. This is convenient enough.
> However, connectors usually need to interact with external systems and often
> introduce heavy dependencies, there is a high possibility of a class conflict
> of different connectors or the user code of the same job. For example, every
> one or two weeks, we will receive issue reports relevant with connector class
> conflict from our users. The problem can get worse when users want to analyze
> data from different sources and write output to different sinks.
> Using separate classloader to load the different connector code could resolve
> the problem.
