Description

The "e2e" builder in Azure pipelines builds Flink again on top of what the "compile" builder is already doing. This unnecessary duplicates a couple of checks that are enough to execute once and can be skipped via providing -Dfast.

On my local machine with 32GB RAM, 8 physical cores and a fast NVMe SSD, the difference is pretty big:

time mvn clean install -Dscala-2.12 -DskipTests -pl flink-dist -am
# -> 6:40 min

time mvn clean install -Dscala-2.12 -DskipTests -Dfast -pl flink-dist -am
# -> 5:40 min

Therefore, I'm proposing to add this parameter to the "e2e" builder's compile step.
