[FLINK-22879] Remove "blink" suffix from table modules

• Type: Sub-task
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Fixed
• Fix Version/s: 1.14.0
• Component/s: Table SQL / Planner, Table SQL / Runtime
• Labels: pull-request-available

Release Note

The following Maven modules have been renamed:

flink-table-planner-blink -> flink-table-planner
flink-table-runtime-blink -> flink-table-runtime
flink-table-uber-blink -> flink-table-uber

It might be required to update job JAR dependencies. Note that flink-table-planner and flink-table-uber used to contain the legacy planner before Flink 1.14 and now contain the only officially supported planner (i.e. previously known as 'Blink' planner).

Description

In order to reduce confusion around "What is Flink?/What is Blink?" we should remove the term blink from the following modules:

flink-table-planner-blink
flink-table-runtime-blink
flink-table-uber-blink

It is up for discussion if we will:

• just perform the refactoring,
• keep the old modules for a while,
• or move the contents to new modules and link to those from the old modules

In any case we should make sure to keep the Git history.
