You don’t need to include the flink libraries themselves in the fat jar ! You can put them as provided and this reduces the jar size! They are already provided by your Flink installation. One exception is the table API but I simply recommend to put it in your flink distribution folder (if your flink Installation is >= 1.5) so it also can be marked as provided in your build file.
