[jira] [Created] (FLINK-10686) Introduce a flink-table-common module

Timo Walther created FLINK-10686:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Introduce a flink-table-common module
                 Key: FLINK-10686
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10686
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Table API &amp; SQL
            Reporter: Timo Walther
            Assignee: Timo Walther


Because more and more table factories for connectors and formats are added and external catalog support is also on the horizon, {{flink-table}} becomes a dependency for many Flink modules. Since {{flink-table}} is implemented in Scala it requires other modules to be suffixes with Scala prefixes. However, as we have learned in the past, Scala code is hard to maintain which is why our long-term goal is to avoid Scala/Scala dependencies.

Therefore we propose a new module {{flink-table-common}} that contains interfaces between {{flink-table}} and other modules. This module is implemented in Java and should contain minimal (or better no) external dependencies.
