[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-8837) Move DataStreamUtils to package 'experimental'.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8837?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16383502#comment-16383502 ] 

Stefan Richter commented on FLINK-8837:
---------------------------------------

I think there is one problem with keeping it in an experimental package: this class is used to expose functionality that goes through package-private methods in data stream classes. If we move it to a different package, those methods need to become public. If the methods are public, then there is also little use in exposing them over `DataStreamUtils`.

> The class {{DataStreamUtils}} came from 'flink-contrib' and now accidentally moved to the fully supported API packages. It should be in package 'experimental' to properly communicate that it is not guaranteed to be API stable.
