RE: [VOTE] Release flink-connector-kafka v5.0.0, release candidate #1
Posted by Ferenc Csaky <fe...@pm.me>.
Hi,
David has a valid Kafka-specific point regarding Java versions, but I would take
a more general spin on this.
The connector dev wiki [1] defines the support matrix between connector and
Flink versions. Flink 1.20 only gets patch support, and the same should apply to
the relevant connector versions. In this case that means Flink Connector Kafka
v3.4 still gets patch support, if there is demand and meaningful fixes.
I think we can deviate from that if it makes more sense (e.g. flink-cdc), but
supporting multiple major Flink versions introduce complexity and IMO for most
connectors would have technical limitations as well, so we cannot expect it to
be default.
Best,
Ferenc

RE: [VOTE] Release flink-connector-kafka v5.0.0, release candidate #1
Posted by David Radley <da...@uk.ibm.com>.
Hi Hong,
The reason the Kafka connectors are like this is due to the different Kafka versions they support. The V3.3 and v3.4 are still supported and support 1.20. Each recent Kafka connector version is associated with particular Kafka client version. There has need a lot of discussion on the dev list to get to this approach.
I see [1] says Java 17, Java 21, and Java 25 are fully supported while Java 11 is supported for a subset of modules. Flink 1.20 is still java 8. I think the way the Kafka connector versions have been done makes sense, it means that the dependencies are for a particular Kafka client and not more complicated..
Kind regards, David.

Hi Ferenc,
A minor issue — it doesn't block this release, as it has existed since
version 4.0.
I noticed that both flink-sql-connector-kafka/5.0.0-2.1 and
flink-sql-connector-kafka/5.0.0-2.2 are available[1]. Only 2.x is supported.
Given that Flink 1.20 is the previous LTS (Long-Term Support) version, it
holds more practical value for many users. For example, Flink CDC supports
both Flink 1.20 and 2.x[2].
Are there any plans to align with this trend and provide broader support
accordingly? （If the current 5.0.0-2.1 can be used with Flink 1.20, should
we provide a documentation note to clarify this?）

Hi Ferenc,
A minor issue — it doesn't block this release, as it has existed since
version 4.0.
I noticed that both flink-sql-connector-kafka/5.0.0-2.1 and
flink-sql-connector-kafka/5.0.0-2.2 are available[1]. Only 2.x is supported.
Given that Flink 1.20 is the previous LTS (Long-Term Support) version, it
holds more practical value for many users. For example, Flink CDC supports
both Flink 1.20 and 2.x[2].
Are there any plans to align with this trend and provide broader support

Hi,
Kafka connector CI can be quite flaky, and I do not have the capacity to fix
that now. I retriggered the run, it's green now.

Re: [VOTE] Release flink-connector-kafka v5.0.0, release candidate #1

I checked:
- Verified SHA512 checksums and GPG signatures
- Build success from source with JDK 11 & Maven 3.8.6
- Verified LICENSE and NOTICE files are present and compliant
- Verified JAR artifacts contain proper LICENSE/NOTICE/DEPENDENCIES
- Verified GitHub tag v5.0.0-rc1 is properly signed
- Verified POM files have correct version 5.0.0 and dependency versions
However:
- CI build failed with 1 test failure, and remaining matrix jobs (JDK
11/21 combinations) were canceled due to strategy failure. Release
candidate must pass all tests before approval
