The new connectors are available for Flink 1.19 onwards, and are available from AWS Connector version 5.0.0 onwards.

As such, from Flink 2.x onwards, only sources using the new `Source` interface will be supported. + +## New features + +Moving over to the new `Source` interface introduced the following advantages: Review Comment: Set up as ``` The new Source interface introduces: ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
