The master branch now builds and runs with Java 17 out-of-the-box.
Notes:
- a nightly cron build was set up, but I expect it to fail because some
tests only run in the branches and thus weren't covered by my testing.
I'll try to stabilize things over the weekend.
- The Python Kafka connector is known to still have issues: (FLINK-32327
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-32327>)
- due to this the Python tests are disabled on CI in Java 17 builds
- In Java 17 builds Scala is being bumped to 2.12.15; don't try to load
a savepoint from a Java 8/11 build.
- In addition to all tests that are being skipped on Java 11, HBase 2.2
has now also made the list.
Huge shout-out to Mathias Pohl for reviewing my seemingly endless stream
of PRs in the last weeks.
If you run into any issues, please report it in FLINK-15736
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-15736>.
