Hi all, @Etienne many thanks for the PR for the Cassandra Source. Hopefully we can make this available after the 1.16 release.
With regards to the connector externalization comments, while the wiki for the release plan for 1.17 is not available yet, the externalization of connectors is definitely a big topic for the 1.17 release. I see no harm in already reviewing this PR and not necessarily merging it in the Flink main repo, but preparing for the dedicated Cassandra connector repository. There are dedicated threads on the externalization of connectors, if there are questions or concerns then those should be discussed in those threads.
