Github user cowtowncoder commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1952#issuecomment-216337481 @aljoscha @fhueske Nothing special, just thought I'd start with smallest step, given that this is my first contribution here. But given that 2.7.4 is out now, I agree that going right there does make most sense and should be safe. It also looks like most usage is via Tree API (JsonNodes), some streaming; most changes are typically in databinding and very few compatibility issues occur outside databinding. So to me upgrade seems safe either way. And since Elastic-client already uses 2.7 that would allow unification of versions as well.
