+1 (non-binding) I performed the following verifications:
- Reviewed the release notes - Reviewed the flink-web PR and left some comments - Ran successfully `mvn clean verify` using OpenJDK 17 + Maven 3.9.14 - Ran successfully Helm UTs with `helm unittest helm/flink-kubernetes-operator --file "tests/**/*_test.yaml”` command - Built the Docker image and installed the operator within Helm successfully - Run the examples on normal runs and on different combinations While testing the examples with different combinations I found the following bug [1] which was introduced on this release. I have already provided a fix for it as part of PR [2]. NOTE: The https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Verifying+a+Flink+Kubernetes+Operator+Release still states that the build should be performed on Java 11, but this is no longer valid for Flink Kubernetes Operator as it uses the Java 17 as baseline. I’d suggest to update this Confluence page whenever possible to reflect this.
