> Currently architecture tests rely on importing such classes as MiniClusterExtension. This introduces a production scope dependency on flink-test-utils which in turn depends on flink-streaming-java. This is problematic because adding architecture tests to any direct or transitive dependency of flink-streaming-java creates a dependency cycle.
> Example: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/22850#discussion_r1243343382
> In general, since architecture tests are supposed to be used freely in any submodule, it is desirable to reduce its dependency surface as much as possible to prevent such cycles. 
> This can be achieved by moving away from using Class objects and employing fully qualified type names checks instead.
