Re: Is the kafka-connector doc missing a dependency on flink-connector-base

[Péter Váry]

Hi JM,

The dependency is set here:
https://github.com/apache/flink-connector-kafka/blob/main/flink-connector-kafka/pom.xml#L50-L55


org.apache.flink
flink-connector-base
${flink.version}
provided


We expect that the non-provided dependencies will be embedded in the jar,
as they are required for the connector.

The 3.0 kafka connector could be deployed to Flink 1.17.0/1.17.1/1.18.0,
but the flink-connector-base could be different for these versions.
Other connectors might have a different support matrix, so embedding any
flink-connector-base dependency would be a bad practice.

I hope this helps,
Peter

Hi, Jean-Marc Paulin.

The flink-connector-base will not be packaged in the externalized
connectors [1].
The flink-connector-base has been included in flink-dist and we should use
the provided scope in maven for it.

Best,
Hang
