-----------------------------------

Thanks for the reminder [~iemejia] and [~thw] !

I prefer maintain at most three versions of Flink runner for Apache Beam 
community, because Apache Flink only support the current and previous minor 
release with bugfixes, more detail can be found in [1]. So, I think its better 
to maintain the three versions of 1.8/1.9/1.10 after add Flink v1.10 build 
target to Flink runner.

I'm not sure if it deserves a discussion in the mailing list as it seems that 
we always maintain 3 versions of Flink runner in Beam. Removing Flink runner 
1.7 seems straightward if we upgrade Flink runner to 1.10. However, I'm not 
sure what's the policy before and it's great to also hear [~mxm] 's 
suggestions? :)
