             Summary: Publish Kinesis connector to Maven Central?
                 Key: FLINK-7672
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7672
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Radoslaw Gruchalski


Hi there, just started working with Flink, second time in the last couple of years. Second time I hit a major roadblock - the connector I try to work with is not available off the shelf. I wonder, what's the reason for this connector: https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kinesis/pom.xml not being Maven Central? It's 21st century, why should I install the jar manually on every machine where I need to work with the code? Off the top of my head, my local box, jenkins, customer's deployment. Really?
I do understand this is coming across rather rude, but come on. There's awesome org.apache.flink organization on Central, so why not every connector in there?
