Hi Aljoscha,

Thanks for starting the discussion. We should definitely not keep
flink-expressions.

I'm in favor of DataTable for the DataSet abstraction equivalent. For
consistency, the package name should then be flink-table. At first
sight, the name seems kind of plain but I think it is quite intuitive
because the API enables you to work in a SQL like fashion.

Best,
Max
