[jira] [Updated] (FLINK-23986) Add support for opting-out of Scala

["Chesnay Schepler (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-23986?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Chesnay Schepler updated FLINK-23986:
-------------------------------------
    Release Note: 
The Java DataSet/-Stream APIs are now independent from Scala and no longer transitively depend on it.

The implications are the following:

a)
If you relied on the Scala APIs, without an explicit dependency on them, then you may experience issues when building your projects.
You can solve this by adding explicit dependencies to the APIs that you are using. This should primarily affect users of the Scala DataStream/CEP APIs.

b)
If you only intend to use the Java APIs, with Java types,
then you can opt-in to a Scala-free Flink by removing the flink-scala jar from the lib/ directory of the distribution.
You are then free to use any Scala version and Scala libraries.
Do note that Scala itself cannot be bundled in user-jars; instead the jars MUST be put into the lib/ directory of the distribution.

c)
A large number of modules have lost their Scala suffix.
Any dependency on one of the modules listed below needs to be updated. 
Further caution is advised when mixing dependencies from different Flink versions (e.g., an older connector),
as you may now end up pulling in multiple versions of a single module (that would previously be prevented by the name being equal).

Any dependency to one of the following modules needs to be updated to no longer include a suffix:
flink-cep
flink-clients
flink-connector-elasticsearch-base
flink-connector-elasticsearch5
flink-connector-elasticsearch6
flink-connector-elasticsearch7
flink-connector-gcp-pubsub
flink-connector-hbase-1.4
flink-connector-hbase-2.2
flink-connector-hbase-base
flink-connector-jdbc
flink-connector-kafka
flink-connector-kinesis
flink-connector-nifi
flink-connector-pulsar
flink-connector-rabbitmq
flink-connector-testing
flink-connector-twitter
flink-connector-wikiedits
flink-container
flink-dstl-dfs
flink-gelly
flink-hadoop-bulk
flink-kubernetes
flink-runtime-web
flink-scala
flink-sql-connector-elasticsearch6
flink-sql-connector-elasticsearch7
flink-sql-connector-hbase-1.4
flink-sql-connector-hbase-2.2
flink-sql-connector-kafka
flink-sql-connector-kinesis
flink-sql-connector-rabbitmq
flink-state-processor-api
flink-statebackend-rocksdb

> The goal of this ticket is to fully isolate the Java APIs (excluding the Table API) from Scala, such that jobs that don't require Scala can be run without Scala being in {{lib/}}.
> In particular we want to allow Scala users that use the Java APIs to use whichever Scala version they want to use.
