What is the state of Scala wrappers?

[Erwan Loisant <er...@loisant.com>]

Hi,

Back in October, the Flink team announced that the Scala API was to be deprecated them removed. Which I think is perfectly fine, having third party develop Scala wrappers is a good approach.

With the announce I expected those wrapper projects to get steam, however both projects linked in the announcement (https://github.com/findify/flink-adt and https://github.com/ariskk/flink4s) don't seem much maintained, and are stuck on Flink 1.15.

Any team here using Flink with Scala are moving away from the official Scala API? Maybe there is a project that I'm missing that is getting more attentions than the 2 linked aboved?

Thank you!
Erwan

I think this blog article is good enough for the Scala support awareness:
https://flink.apache.org/2022/02/22/scala-free.html
In my opinion, it would be much better if one of the Scala-wrappers
community project moves under umbrella of *org.apache.flink *to have a
chance to survive longer.

Hi all,

Is there anything that the Flink community could do to raise awareness?
Perhaps it would be interesting for the maintainers to write a short blog
post about it, which potentially could drive traffic?

Best regards,

Martijn

Hi Erwan,

I think those 2 projects you mentioned are pretty much the options we have
at the moment if you want to use Scala 2.13 or 3.
I believe your contribution to upgrade one of them to Flink 1.16 will be
very welcomed.

Best regards,
Alex
