>                 Key: FLINK-16171
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-16171
>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Build System
>            Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
>            Priority: Major
>
> Flink's dependency graph is filled with unused dependencies, among others
> * adding noise in the dependency tree that make it harder to reason about which modules are affected by a dependency change,
> * potentially reducing developer productivity by requiring more modules to be compiled than necessary (e.g., when using mavens {{-am}} switch,
> * adding additional work during license checks.
> We should comb the project and remove all unused dependencies, and properly document those that are detected as unused (usually because they are accessed indirectly).
