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

             Summary: Only release hadoop-free Flink
                 Key: FLINK-11266
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11266
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Release System
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
            Assignee: Chesnay Schepler
             Fix For: 1.8.0


Currently we release 10 different binary releases (2 scala versions * (4 hadoop version + hadoop-free)), which has increased the size of our release to more than 2 GB.
Naturally, building Flink 10 times also takes a while, slowing down the release process.

However, the only difference between the hadoop versions is the bundled {{flink-shaded-hadoop2}} jar; the rest is completely identical.

I propose to stop releasing hadoop-specific distributions, and instead have us release multiple versions of {{flink-shaded-hadoop2}} that users copy into the hadoop-free distribution if required.
