Dear Flink community, Here's the second release candidate for the 0.9.0 release. We haven't had a formal vote on the previous release candidate but it received an implicit -1 because of a couple of issues.
Thanks to the hard-working Flink devs these issues should be solved now. The following commits have been added to the second release candidate: f5f0709 [FLINK-2194] [type extractor] Excludes Writable type from WritableTypeInformation to be treated as an interface 40e2df5 [FLINK-2072] [ml] Adds quickstart guide af0fee5 [FLINK-2207] Fix TableAPI conversion documenation and further renamings for consistency. e513be7 [FLINK-2206] Fix incorrect counts of finished, canceled, and failed jobs in webinterface ecfde6d [docs][release] update stable version to 0.9.0 4d8ae1c [docs] remove obsolete YARN link and cleanup download links f27fc81 [FLINK-2195] Configure Configurable Hadoop InputFormats ce3bc9c [streaming] [api-breaking] Minor DataStream cleanups 0edc0c8 [build] [streaming] Streaming parents dependencies pushed to children 6380b95 [streaming] Logging update for checkpointed streaming topologies 5993e28 [FLINK-2199] Escape UTF characters in Scala Shell welcome squirrel. 80dd72d [FLINK-2196] [javaAPI] Moved misplaced SortPartitionOperator class c8c2e2c [hotfix] Bring KMeansDataGenerator and KMeans quickstart in sync 77def9f [FLINK-2183][runtime] fix deadlock for concurrent slot release 87988ae [scripts] remove quickstart scripts f3a96de [streaming] Fixed streaming example jars packaging and termination 255c554 [FLINK-2191] Fix inconsistent use of closure cleaner in Scala Streaming 1343f26 [streaming] Allow force-enabling checkpoints for iterative jobs c59d291 Fixed a few trivial issues: e0e6f59 [streaming] Optional iteration feedback partitioning added 348ac86 [hotfix] Fix YARNSessionFIFOITCase 80cf2c5 [ml] Makes StandardScalers state package private and reduce redundant code.

Again, we need to test the new release candidate. Therefore, I've created a new document where we keep track of our testing criteria for releases: https://docs.google.com/document/d/162AZEX8lo0Njal10mmt9wzM5GYVL5WME-VfwGmwpBoA/edit Everyone who tested previously, could take a different task this time. For some components we probably don't have to test again but, if in doubt, testing twice doesn't hurt. Happy testing :) Cheers, Max Git branch: release-0.9.0-rc2 Release binaries: http://people.apache.org/~mxm/flink-0.9.0-rc2/ Maven artifacts: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheflink-1040/ PGP public key for verifying the signatures: http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xDE976D18C2909CBF
