[jira] [Created] (BEAM-1993) Remove special unbounded Flink source/sink

Aljoscha Krettek created BEAM-1993:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Remove special unbounded Flink source/sink
                 Key: BEAM-1993
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1993
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: runner-flink
            Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
            Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek
             Fix For: First stable release


{{UnboundedFlinkSource}} and {{UnboundedFlinkSink}} allow using a Flink {{SourceFunction}}/{{SinkFunction}} with Beam. They only work on the Flink Runner since they directly pass through the function. This doesn't play well with Runner portability and was there in the beginning because Beam didn't yet have a rich ecosystem of connectors.

Once we remove this we can also remove the flink/examples package because the only custom stuff left there is examples showcasing the use of Flink sources/sinks.
