Hi Ron, I'm currently experimenting with a local build of Flink 2.1.0-rc1 and a local build of the Flink Kafka Connector 4.0.0. While building the Flink Kafka Connector, I encountered an issue: the static method DataTypeUtils::stripRowPrefix(...) appears to have been removed from the Flink codebase.
Was this removal intentional? And if so, does the Flink Kafka Connector still need to be updated to reflect this change? Also, I'm curious, what is the typical process for releasing a new version of Flink? Do the Flink Connectors receive a new release as part of that process as well?
