Description

This would be a large change. But maybe now is still a good time to do it. Otherwise we will never fix this.

Actually, the Table API is in the wrong package. At the moment it is in org.apache.flink.api.table and the actual Scala/Java APIs are in org.apache.flink.api.java/scala.table. All other APIs such as Python, Gelly, Flink ML do not use the org.apache.flink.api namespace.

I suggest the following packages:

org.apache.flink.table
org.apache.flink.table.api.java
org.apache.flink.table.api.scala

What do you think?
