Hi @mans2singh,
thanks a lot for this contribution. I wonder what's your motivation to
implement a flink --> rethinkdb connector? I'm asking because the Flink
community can not accept every contribution, in particular if its adding a
large new component we need to maintain.
Only if there are enough users and developers willing support a feature, we
can accept the contribution.
I'm a bit sorry to tell you this after you've implemented the code, on the
other hand, our guidelines [1] clearly state that new features need to be
discussed with the community first.
The good news is that we have a special section for community maintained
modules on our website [2]. Therefore, I suggest that you put the code into a
separate github repository and open a pull request to add a link to that
repository.
The good thing about this approach is also, that we don't have to fix the
license issue immediately.
Also, it doesn't mean that I'm against this contribution at all. If we see
many users using the module from your github repository, and there are people
in the community willing to maintain it, we can also look into merging it.
