Mason Chen commented on FLINK-30859:
------------------------------------

[~martijnvisser] [~tzulitai] [~thw@apache.org] I took at stab at this a while back and it seems that there are still many components that still rely on the flink-connector-kafka.

I'll try to enumerate them here:
 * confluent-schema-registry-end-to-end-tests
 * flink-examples
 * flink-examples-build-helper

I think we can consider externalizing the confluent-schema-registry and confluent-schema-registry-end-to-end-tests since they are closely related to Kafka.

However, I'm unsure about the examples since users refer to that. If we want to keep it in the repo, then we need a release of the flink-connector-kafka–I think we left the earlier release candidate to be expired.

These are just my initial thoughts and I'm happy to start a discussion in the mailing list if required. Thanks!
