> Thanks for the contribution. Yeah Beam is a bit behind (two minor versions) in terms of Flink support. After 2.1 in 1.17-2.0 would already have 6 versions. We'd need to clean up EOL versions (1.17, 1.18) before merging this one. Thanks for the context! The primary motivation here is that AWS Managed Service for Apache Flink decided to move directly to Flink 2.2, completely skipping 2.0 and 2.1 ([AWS Release Version Docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/managed-flink/latest/java/release-version-list.html)). Because of this jump, users on that platform currently have no compatible Beam runner for Flink 2.x. Makes total sense on cleaning up the EOL versions first. If there an existing issue or effort for the 1.17, 1.18 cleanup, I can follow that along. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
