Hi, there.
The "FLIP-108: Add GPU support in Flink"[1] is now working in
progress. However, we met problems regarding class loader and
dependency. For more details, you could look at the discussion[2]. The
discussion thread is now converged and the solution is changing the
RuntimeContext#getExternalResourceInfos, let it return
ExternalResourceInfo and adding methods to ExternalResourceInfo
interface.
Since the solution involves changes in the Public API. We'd like to
start a voting thread for it.
The proposed change is:
```
public interface RuntimeContext {
/**
* Get the specific external resource information by the resourceName.
*/
Set<ExternalResourceInfo> getExternalResourceInfos(String resourceName);
}
```
```
public interface ExternalResourceInfo {
String getProperty(String key);
Collection<String> getKeys();
}
```
The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Unless there is an objection,
I will try to close it by May 4, 2020 14:00 UTC if we have received
sufficient votes.
