Hi Flink devs, It has been a long time since the release of 1.6.3 (December 23, 2018). There have been a lot of valuable bug fixes during this period. What do you think about releasing Flink 1.6.4 soon?
We already have some critical fixes in the release-1.6 branch(such as): - FLINK-11235: Solve Elasticsearch connector thread leaks - FLINK-11207: security vulnerability with currently used Apachecommons-compress version - FLINK-10761: do not acquire lock for getAllVariables - FLINK-10761: potential deadlock with metrics system - FLINK-11140: fix empty child path check in Buckets - FLINK-10774: connection leak in FlinkKafkaConsumer - FLINK-10848: problem with resource allocation in YARN mode - FLINK-11419: restore issue with StreamingFileSink - FLINK-10774: connection leak in FlinkKafkaConsumer Please let me know what you think. Ideally, we can kick off the release vote for the first RC early next week. I have a preliminary analysis of the JIRAs on 1.6.4. There are currently 4 in progress, and there are 23 need to do. I have write the Google doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ESMrCkLT_Lf4L1Mw1nEu2c0yqlM_MzMRpjAHC0G3Ln0/edit?usp=sharing> for how to processing of these JIRAs. Welcome to comment in the email or in the Google doc <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ESMrCkLT_Lf4L1Mw1nEu2c0yqlM_MzMRpjAHC0G3Ln0/edit?usp=sharing> . If there are some other critical fixes for 1.6.4 that are almost completed (already have a PR opened and review is in progress), please let me know here by the end of this week. Cheers, Jincheng
