Maximilian Michels commented on BEAM-5419:
------------------------------------------
No worries about asking questions! Thanks for trying out the 1.6 build. If you
just replace the dependency in the pom file, e.g. {{beam-runners-flink_2.11}}
against {{beam-runners-flink-1.6}}, it will only work if you installed the 1.6
version in your local Maven repository.
Like so: {{mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-1.6-jar>}}
> Build multiple versions of the Flink Runner against different Flink versions

> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: build-system, runner-flink
> Reporter: Maximilian Michels
> Assignee: Maximilian Michels
> Priority: Major

> 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.
