Maximilian Michels commented on BEAM-5419:
------------------------------------------
[~djharper] Thanks for the pointer to the AWS service. Indeed, it is plain
Flink 1.6, so you would be able to run Beam on it as well.
The PR was merged for supporting multiple versions of the Flink Runner. So the
next release will contain Flink 1.6 and Flink 1.7.
> Build multiple versions of the Flink Runner against different Flink versions

> Key: BEAM-5419
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-5419
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: build-system, runner-flink
> Reporter: Maximilian Michels
> Assignee: Maximilian Michels
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.10.0

> Time Spent: 3.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> Following up on a discussion on the mailing list.
> We want to keep the Flink version stable across different versions to avoid
> upgrade pain for long-term users. At the same time, there are users out there
> with newer Flink clusters and developers also want to utilize new Flink
> features.
> It would be great to build multiple versions of the Flink Runner against
> different Flink versions.
> When the upgrade is as simple as changing the version property in the build
> script, this should be pretty straight-forward. If not, having a "base
> version" and applying a patch during the build could be an option. We should
> avoid duplicating any Runner code.
