It is not viable for us, as of right now, to release both a lean and fat
version of flink-dist.
We don't have the required tooling to assemble a correct NOTICE file for
that scenario.
Besides that his would also go against recent efforts to reduce the
total size of a Flink release,

Hi Chesnay,
Thanks for the proposal. +1 for make the distribution thinner.
Meanwhile, it would be useful to have all the peripheral libraries/jars
hosted somewhere so users can download them from a centralized place. We
can also encourage the community to contribute their libraries, such as
conne
Hi Chesnay,
Thanks a lot for the proposal! +1 for a leaner flink-dist and improve the
"Download" page.
I think a leaner flink-dist would be very helpful. If we bundle all jars
into a single one, this will easily cause class conflict problem.
Best,

Hi Chesnay,
Thank you for the proposal. And i like it very much.
+1 for the leaner distribution.
About improve the "Download" page, I think we can add the connectors
download link in the "Optional components" section which @Timo Walther
mentioned above.

Ufuk's proposal (having a lean default release and a user convenience
tarball) sounds good to me. That way advanced users won't be bothered by an
unnecessarily large release and new users can benefit from having many
useful extensions bundled in one tarball.

+1 for Stephan's suggestion. For example, SQL connectors have never been
part of the main distribution and nobody complained about this so far. I

I like the idea of a leaner binary distribution. At the same time I
agree with Jamie that the current binary is quite convenient and
connection speeds should not be that big of a deal. Since the binary
distribution is one of the first entry points for users, I'd like to
keep it as user-friendly as
There are some points where a leaner approach could help.
There are many libraries and connectors that are currently being adding to
Flink, which makes the "include all" approach not completely feasible in
long run:
- Connectors: For a proper experience with the Shell/CLI (for example for
SQL) w
Thanks Chesnay for raising this discussion thread. I think there are 3
major use scenarios for flink binary distribution.
1. Use it to set up standalone cluster
2. Use it to experience features of flink, such as via scala-shell,
sql-client
3. Downstream project use it to integrate with their syst
I'm not sure if this is required. It's quite convenient to be able to just
grab a single tarball and you've got everything you need.
I just did this for the latest binary release and it was 273MB and took
about 25 seconds to download. Of course I know connection speeds vary
quite a bit but I don
Hi Chesnay,
Thank you for the proposal.
I think this is a good idea.
We follow a similar approach already for Hadoop dependencies and connectors
(although in application space).

Hello,
the binary distribution that we release by now contains quite a lot of
optional components, including various filesystems, metric reporters and
libraries. Most users will only use a fraction of these, and as such
pretty much only increase the size of flink-dist.
With Flink growing mor
