[jira] [Created] (FLINK-9461) Disentangle flink-connector-kafka from flink-table and flink-json

Till Rohrmann created FLINK-9461:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Disentangle flink-connector-kafka from flink-table and flink-json
                 Key: FLINK-9461
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9461
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build System
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0
            Reporter: Till Rohrmann
             Fix For: 1.6.0


Currently, the {{flink-connector-kafka}} module has a dependency on {{flink-table}} and {{flink-json}}. The reason seems to be that the module contains the {{KafkaJsonTableSource}} and {{KafkaJsonTableSink}}. Even though the {{flink-table}} and {{flink-json}} dependency are marked as optional, the {{flink-connector-kafka}} will still contain the table sources and sinks. I think this is not a clean design.

I would propose to move the table sources and sinks into a dedicated module which depends on {{flink-connector-kafka}}. That way we would better separate dependencies and could remove {{flink-table}} and {{flink-json}} from {{flink-connector-kafka}}.
