Hi Everyone I am currently going through the documentation for 1.11 and noticed an issue with the walkthroughs.
Flink currently contains two walkthroughs for new users, one for data stream and one for table[1, 2]. They both have corresponding maven archetypes for users to create template projects with the proper dependencies and follow along[3, 4]. The table walkthrough was added several releases ago and now actively exposes deprecated and even internal apis. These are meant to serve as users first exposure to Flink and is not a good impression. To that end, I want to propose dropping the maven archetypes from 1.11 and adding new dockerized playgrounds to go along with the docs in the flink-playgrounds repo. While we are past the feature freeze I think this is important and would not affect release testing or 1.11's stability. I am volunteering to ensure the work is completed before the release.
