[DISCUSS] Upload the Flink Python API 1.9.x to PyPI for user convenience.
Hi folks,
I am very happy to receive some user inquiries about the use of Flink
Python API (PyFlink) recently. One of the more common questions is whether
it is possible to install PyFlink without using source code build. The most
convenient and natural way for users is to use `pip install apache-flink`.
We originally planned to support the use of `pip install apache-flink` in
Flink 1.10, but the reason for this decision was that when Flink 1.9 was
released at August 22, 2019[1], Flink's PyPI account system was not ready.
At present, our PyPI account is available at October 09, 2019 [2](Only PMC
can access), So for the convenience of users I propose:
- Publish the latest release version (1.9.2) of Flink 1.9 to PyPI.
- Update Flink 1.9 documentation to add support for `pip install`.
As we all know, Flink 1.9.2 was just completed released at January 31, 2020
[3]. There is still at least 1 to 2 months before the release of 1.9.3, so
my proposal is completely considered from the perspective of user
convenience. Although the proposed work is not large, we have not set a
precedent for independent release of the Flink Python API(PyFlink) in the
previous release process. I hereby initiate the current discussion and look
forward to your feedback!
Best,
Jincheng

Hi Jincheng,
Thanks for the proposal. I think this is a good idea. Usually Python users will firstly try to install a Python package from PyPI when they are trying it out. This would definitely benefit Python users.

Yes, as I said I think it's still good to release.

Re: [DISCUSS] Upload the Flink Python API 1.9.x to PyPI for user convenience.
Posted by jincheng sun <su...@gmail.com>.
Hi Aljoscha,
I agree that the coming PyFlink package of 1.10 is enough for users who
just want to try out the latest version of PyFlink. However, I think that
there are also cases where the old versions are useful. Usually users tend
to prepare their development environment according to the version of the
cluster. Suppose that the Flink cluster version is 1.9, then users may want
to install the package of PyFlink 1.9. Even if he installs the 1.10 package
from the PyPI, it will fail in cases that he tries to submit the Python job
to the 1.9 cluster using the python shell shipped with the 1.10 package.
(The reason is that the JobGraph of 1.10 is incompatible with the JobGraph
of 1.9)
As the 1.9.2 is already released, considering that publishing it to PyPI
requires not too much efforts(I have already prepared the package),
personally I think it worths to do that.
What's your thought? :)
Best,
Jincheng

Re: [DISCUSS] Upload the Flink Python API 1.9.x to PyPI for user convenience.
Posted by Hequn Cheng <he...@apache.org>.
Hi Jincheng,
+1 for this proposal.
From the perspective of users, I think it would nice to have PyFlink on

Best, Hequn

Hi Jincheng,
Thanks for bring up this discussion!
+1 for this proposal. Building from source takes long time and requires a
good network environment. Some users may not have such an environment.
Uploading to PyPI will greatly improve the user experience.

Re: [DISCUSS] Upload the Flink Python API 1.9.x to PyPI for user convenience.
Posted by Wei Zhong <we...@gmail.com>.
Hi Jincheng,
Thanks for bring up this discussion!
+1 for this proposal. Building from source takes long time and requires a
good network environment. Some users may not have such an environment.
Uploading to PyPI will greatly improve the user experience.
Best,
Wei
