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

             Summary: Flink Kinesis connector - remove dependency on the ASL code
                 Key: FLINK-7673
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7673
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Radoslaw Gruchalski


Currently the Flink Kinesis connector depends on two artifacts which are available under Amazon Software License code. The artifacts are:

{noformat}
               <dependency>
                       <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
                       <artifactId>amazon-kinesis-producer</artifactId>
                       <version>${aws.kinesis-kpl.version}</version>
               </dependency>
               <dependency>
                       <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
                       <artifactId>amazon-kinesis-client</artifactId>
                       <version>${aws.kinesis-kcl.version}</version>
                       <!--
                               We're excluding the below from the KCL since we'll only be using the
                               com.amazonaws.services.kinesis.clientlibrary.types.UserRecord class, which will not need these dependencies.
                       -->
                       <exclusions>
                               <exclusion>
                                       <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
                                       <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-dynamodb</artifactId>
                               </exclusion>
                               <exclusion>
                                       <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
                                       <artifactId>aws-java-sdk-cloudwatch</artifactId>
                               </exclusion>
                       </exclusions>
               </dependency>
{/noformat}

This prevents the connector being published to Maven Central. I would like to contribute to Flink Kinesis connector by replacing the ASL licensed code with an implementation using AWS SDK for Java. For that, I'd like to understand two things:

- what's the correct process for making the contribution (contributor agreement, etc.)
- what's the minimum functionality the alternative implementation would have to provide in order to get accepted

Thank you.
