Hi, Xintong and I would like to start a discussion for releasing Flink 1.11.3 soon.
It seems like we already have a few pressing issues that needs to be included in a new hotfix release: - Heap-based timers’ restore behaviour is causing a critical recovery issue for StateFun [1] [2] [3]. - There are several robustness issues for the FLIP-27 new source API, such as [4]. We already have some users using the FLIP-27 API with 1.11.x, so it would be important to get those fixes in for 1.11.x as well. Apart from the issues that are already marked as blocker for 1.11.3 in our JIRA [5], please let us know in this thread if there is already ongoing work for other important fixes that we should try to include. Xintong and I would like to volunteer for managing this release, and will try to communicate the priority of pending blockers over the next few days. Since the aforementioned issues are quite critical, we’d like to aim for a *feature freeze by the end of next week (Oct. 30th)* and start the release voting process the week after. If that is too short of a notice and you might need more time, please let us know! Cheers, Gordon [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19692 [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19741 [3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19748 [4] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19717 [5] https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20FLINK%20AND%20priority%20%3D%20Blocker%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%201.11.3
