Timo Walther created FLINK-10686: ------------------------------------ Summary: Introduce a flink-table-common module Key: FLINK-10686 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10686 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Table API & SQL Reporter: Timo Walther Assignee: Timo Walther
Because more and more table factories for connectors and formats are added and external catalog support is also on the horizon, {{flink-table}} becomes a dependency for many Flink modules. Since {{flink-table}} is implemented in Scala it requires other modules to be suffixes with Scala prefixes. However, as we have learned in the past, Scala code is hard to maintain which is why our long-term goal is to avoid Scala/Scala dependencies. Therefore we propose a new module {{flink-table-common}} that contains interfaces between {{flink-table}} and other modules. This module is implemented in Java and should contain minimal (or better no) external dependencies. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
