as it probably has gone a little bit unnoticed, I wanted to bring up that the Flink community is currently preparing the Flink 1.5 release. The release branch has already been created [1]. Currently, the remaining bugs are being fixed and the release is being tested. I hope that we can release in a couple of weeks.
As part of the release testing we want to automate as many tests as possible. Currently there is an effort to create automated end-to-end tests [2] which can be executed locally and those which are executed on a cluster framework [3]. This will not only improve Flink's test coverage but also facilitate future release work.
The list of end-to-end tests is by no means exhaustive and supposed to be gradually extended. So if you think that tests are missing, please create a subtask under the respective umbrella issue.
Since Flink has grown to be a quite complex system with a lot of integrations with other systems the community appreciates every helping hand. Especially when it comes to testing connectors you could be tremendously helpful. The following connectors would benefit particularly from testing help:
- ElasticSearch connector
- Cassandra connector
- Kinesis connector
- RabbitMQ connector
If possible, it would be great to automate these tests and contribute to the project. Thanks a lot!
