From my understanding, "provided" would mean that a project that uses stuff
from flink-contrib would not need to include the code from flink-contrib into
the own program jar because flink-contrib code is provided automatically at
runtime (ie, is included in flink-dist).
However, Flink follows the opposite approach. "The flink-contrib folder is
assumed to be provided by the user" means, that flink-contrib stuff is **not**
included in flink-dist, thus, if flink-contrib stuff is use, the program must
be contained in a fat-jar that includes flink-contrib classes.
> Set flink-* dependencies in flink-contrib as "provided"

> The {{flink-contrib}} folder is assumed to be provided by the user. As such,
> other {{flink-*}} dependencies referenced within {{flink-contrib}} should be
> set as _'provided'_ in order to keep the size of the user jars down. I'm
> currently testing a patch that changes the poms as suggested and will open a
> PR on GitHub if this everything passes.
