Description

The flink-json module defines Json serialization and deserialization schemas. Additionally, it defines Json table descriptor. Due to this, it has a dependency on flink-table. We should either rename this module into flink-json-table or move the table API specific classes into a different module. That way we could remove the dependency on flink-table which decouples the Json serialization and deserialization schemas from the Table API on which the schemas should not depend.
