[DISCUSS] Releasing StateFun hotfix version 2.2.2

["Tzu-Li (Gordon) Tai" <tz...@apache.org>]

Hi,

Now that Flink 1.11.3 is out, which includes a critical fix that StateFun
was waiting for [1], we would like to proceed with the next hotfix for the
StateFun 2.2.x series by upgrading the Flink version to 1.11.3 in StateFun.

2.2.2 would not include many new fixes by itself other than upgrading to
Flink 1.11.3, but [1] is already critical enough to justify a hotfix
release ASAP. Please see [2] for a recap of the severity of [1] and how it
affects StateFun.

I'd like to create a RC preferably tomorrow, and taking into account the
Christmas holidays where we would expect some downtime in the community,
see if we can gather enough votes for a release before the end of the year.

Cheers,
Gordon

Thanks Seth!

And yes, I'll reach out to some individual PMCs to make sure the RCs will
get enough attention and votes.

I'll proceed to create RC1 now.

This is an important fix, and I'm available this week for RC testing. Given
the makeup of the normal statefun contributors, it might make sense to
proactively reach out to some additional PMC members about testing.
