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

             Summary: Properly Structure Test Utils and Dependencies
                 Key: FLINK-3995
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3995
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build System
    Affects Versions: 1.0.2
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
            Assignee: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 1.1.0


We currently have the problem that valuable test utils are only found in test jars:
  - TestLogger
  - RetryRules
  - MiniClusters
  - TestEnvironments
  - ...

In addition, this created a strange setup where the {{compile}} scope of some projects depends on the {{test-jar}} of other projects.

To make things clean and let users use the {{flink-test-utils}} main scope (not test jar) properly, I suggest the following:

  - Create a {{flink-testutils-core}} project, which has the test utils currently contained in the {{flink-core}} {{test-jar}} in the main scope.
  - Make the Mini Cluster available in {{flink-test-utils}} main scope.
  - To remove the test-jar dependency on {{flink-runtime}} from the {{flink-test-utils}} project, we need to move the test actor classes to the main scope in {{flink-runtime}}.


This is related to FLINK-1827 (a followup).
