Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-9461:
-------------------------------------
[~twalthr] Is there a plan on how to handle connectors across DataSet /
DataStream / Table API in general?
If not, let's make sure we have that so all connectors follow the same
dependency structure.
> Disentangle flink-connector-kafka from flink-table and flink-json

> Currently, the {{flink-connector-kafka}} module has a dependency on
> {{flink-table}} and {{flink-json}}. The reason seems to be that the module
> contains the {{KafkaJsonTableSource}} and {{KafkaJsonTableSink}}. Even though
> the {{flink-table}} and {{flink-json}} dependency are marked as optional, the
> {{flink-connector-kafka}} will still contain the table sources and sinks. I
> think this is not a clean design.
> I would propose to move the table sources and sinks into a dedicated module
> which depends on {{flink-connector-kafka}}. That way we would better separate
> dependencies and could remove {{flink-table}} and {{flink-json}} from
> {{flink-connector-kafka}}.
