Flink support

Flink Support is a HERE-proprietary implementation of using data from
HERE platform catalogs and layers with
Apache Flink framework. The distribution of
processing jobs to workers is done by Flink but the data model is a
HERE-proprietary format. There is no SQL-like interface, so you cannot select
and filter data using Flink Table API.

In the end, FlinkDataClient is a wrapper for regular DataClient making sure
that all asynchronous communication is synchronized to make it usable with Flink
Source and Sink interfaces. There are no additional functions for tabular
access.

HERE strongly suggests to use Flink Connector
whenever possible as this allows to make use of the full power of Apache Flink
framework.
