-----------------------------------

             Summary: Kafka Streams: remove compile dependency on connect-json
                 Key: KAFKA-5146
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5146
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: streams
            Reporter: Michael Noll
            Priority: Minor


We currently have a compile-dependency on `connect-json`:

```<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
<artifactId>connect-json</artifactId>
<version>0.10.2.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
```
The snippet above is from the generated POM of Kafka Streams as of 0.10.2.0 release.

AFAICT the only reason for that is because the *examples* showcase some JSON processing, but that’s it.

First and foremost, we should remove the connect-json dependency, and also figure out a way to set up / structure the examples so we that we can continue showcasing JSON support.  Alternatively, we could consider removing the JSON example (but I don't like that, personally).
