Dear community,
happy to share this week's community update!
Flink Development
==============
* [releases] Zhijiang has published a first release candidate for Apache Flink 1.11.0. This is a "preview-only" release candidate to facilitate current testing efforts. There will not be a vote on this RC. [1]
* [releases] Gordon proposes to release Apache Flink Stateful Function 2.1.0 soon. This would mean a faster release cycle compared to the main project, which seems to make sense given the early state of the project. The proposal received a lot positive feedback and the feature freeze date was set for this Wednesday (27th of May). [2]
* [deployment] Klou proposes to remove support for shipping nested JARs during job submission, a so far hidden feature of Apache Flink from the early days of the project. [3]
* [security] Weike Dong proposes to exclude "unsafe ports", i.e. ports considered to be unsafe by major browsers, as candidates for the Flink REST API, if no port was specified explicitly. [4]
* [development process] Robert has started a thread to clarify the semantics and usage of JIRA fields in the Apache Flink project. If you are unsure about some fields, check out this thread and join the conversation. [5]
Notable Bugs
==========
* [FLINK-17189] [1.10.1] HiveCatalog does not support processing time columns. [6]
* [FLINK-17800] [1.10.1] There might be a state loss issue when using the Rocksdb with optimizeForPointLookup. The community is still investigating the bug report. [7]
Events, Blog Posts, Misc
===================
* Ankit Jhalaria of GoDaddy has published a blog post about their Flink-based streaming data platform on the Ververica Blog [8].
* If you have not heard about Lyft's streaming platform before, here is another great talk by Sherin Thomas and blog on InfoQ [9].
Cheers,
Konstantin
