Release Note

The new module flink-table-planner-loader replaces flink-table-planner_2.12 and avoids the need for a Scala suffix. It is included in the Flink distribution under /lib. For backwards compatibility, users can still swap it with flink-table-planner_2.12 located in /opt. As a consequence, flink-table-uber has been split into flink-table-api-java-uber, flink-table-planner(-loader), and table-runtime. flink-sql-client has no Scala suffix anymore.

It is recommended to let new projects depend on flink-table-planner-loader (without Scala suffix) in provided scope.

Note that the distribution does not include the Scala API by default. Scala users need to explicitly add a dependency to flink-table-api-scala or flink-table-api-scala-bridge.
