Hi, Another update: things are looking mostly good! There is only one release blocker remaining [1] as of the time of this writing. Unfortunately, tomorrow is a public holiday in Germany so I might not get around to creating a first RC, sorry for that!
Regarding, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11501 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-11501>, I decided not to include it on the release-1.8 branch because I had some concerns about adding shaded-guava to flink-core as a dependency. I started a thread about this [2]. I’ll create a first RC as soon as the blockers are resolved and I find the time.
