Thanks Dennis for catching this issue. Given that this bug can have a big effect on existing session job users with a very unexpected behaviour (it would either block and require manual cancel, or delete flink session jobs silently that were previously not deleted), I will cancel this RC & vote and merge your fix.
So -1 for this RC Will prepare a new RC with the fix, thank you Gyula On Wed, May 6, 2026 at 8:51 PM Dennis-Mircea Ciupitu < [email protected]> wrote: > +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.
