Good point. The initial idea of this thread was to remove the storm compatibility layer completely.
During the discussion I realized that it might be useful for our users to not completely remove it in one go. Instead for those who still want to use some Bolt and Spout code in Flink, it could be nice to keep the wrappers. At least, we could remove flink-storm in a more graceful way by first removing the Topology and client parts and then the wrappers. What do you think?
