Aris Koliopoulos commented on FLINK-13414:
------------------------------------------
I had a go at it using two different ways:
*Standalone API in 2.13*
I tried to wrap flink-streaming-java_2.12 in a standalone separate Scala API in
2.13. I knew Akka would be the tricky part. There is binary compatibility
between 2.12 and 2.13 and assuming classpath-related ClassDefNotFound issues
can be resolved, this may work. I essentially tried to trick Flink into using
Akka 2.5.23 (instead of 2.5.21) which has a 2.13 build. That didn't work due to
shading Akka. The whole thing compiled but AkkaUtils has a number of references
to deprecated collection APIs. I wonder If there is a way to shade Scala as
well as Akka. In general, this feels like an overall bad idea. Even if we can
work around Akka related issues, I would still very nervous about
serializing/deseriazing 2.13 case classes with serialiazers compiled in 2.12.
Note: I had to copy the ClosureCleaner over and at least this part compiled
without issues.
*Flink in 2.13*
Akka only needs a minor version bump to 2.5.23 and I haven't seen any
compilation issues so far. Chill needs a major bump from 0.7.6 to 0.9.5. A few
APIs have changed which means org/apache/flink/runtime/types needs to have two
Scala folders, one for 2.12- and one for 2.13+. The changes are minor. I
wouldn't do that though, I would update Chill to 0.9.5 first.
As @aljoscha predicted, due to the removal of `CanBuildFrom` the `TypeAnalyzer`
needs some changes. In `TraversableSerializer` I had to replace `CanBuildFrom`
with `Factory` from the new compatibility library.
There were a ton compiler errors due to a) Seq defaulting to immutable.Seq and
b) mutable.MutableList being removed. Defaulting to immutable.Seq and replacing
MutableList with ListBuffer did the trick at compile time. I haven't checked
whether the new code compiles in 2.11/2.12 though.
After a few hours I got all modules up to flink-examples-batch to compile. I
expect flink-table to need significant work; the rest should be
straightforward.
As far as tests are concerned, I ran all modules up to flink-runtime and I only
encountered one failure in
KryoSerializerRegistrationsTest.testDefaultKryoRegisteredClassesDidNotChange.
I suspect the bulk of the work will be around ensuring flink-scala tests run
and pass for all supported Scala versions.
I intend to spend a bit more time on this.
