If you want to try shading Akka dependency, I think that it is more recommended to shade Akka dependency of your application.
Hello -
An application that uses Akka 2.5 and Flink 1.8.0 gives runtime errors because of version mismatch between Akka that we use and the one that Flink uses (which is Akka 2.4). Anyone tried shading Akka dependency with Flink ?
Or is there any other alternative way to handle this issue ? I know Flink 1.9 has upgraded to Akka 2.5 but this is (I think) going to be a recurring problem down the line with mismatch between the new releases of Akka and Flink.
