Matthias Pohl commented on FLINK-20392:
---------------------------------------
This discussion feels similar to our efforts around migrating to JUnit5 and
assertj as the standard JUnit tests. It costed (and is still costing) quite a
bit of resources with the risk of missing things when reviewing the tests.
That is why I still see value in just keeping both options around. That
requires less resources and we're not losing much. The pros and cons are still
a good guideline for developers to decide on which technology to use if they
are planning to create a new e2e test in Java. WDYT?

> This Jira issue serves as an umbrella ticket for single e2e test migration
> tasks. This should enable us to migrate all bash-based e2e tests step-by-step.
> The goal is to utilize the e2e test framework (see
> [flink-end-to-end-tests-common|https://github.com/apache/flink/tree/master/flink-end-to-end-tests/flink-end-to-end-tests-common]).
> Ideally, the test should use Docker containers as much as possible
> disconnect the execution from the environment. A good source to achieve that
> is [testcontainers.org|https://www.testcontainers.org/].
> The related ML discussion is [Stop adding new bash-based e2e tests to
