Description

Flink's binary distribution is almost 500 MB large:

128K	./bin
 16K	./examples/python/streaming
 28K	./examples/python/batch
 44K	./examples/python
189M	./examples/streaming
240K	./examples/gelly
136K	./examples/batch
190M	./examples
131M	./lib
174M	./opt
  0B	./log
 56K	./conf
494M	.

I think this is far too large and we should try to reduce the size. For example, the examples directory contains 3 different Kafka example jobs, each at least 50 MB of size.

Sub-Tasks

• Remove Kafka examples from binary distribution: Closed
• Refactor the placement of the Flink Kafka connector end to end test module: Resolved
