We're looking forward to your feedback! + +## Highlights + +### Kubernetes Conditions in FlinkDeployment Status + +The operator now exposes a standard Kubernetes +[Condition](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-lifecycle/#pod-conditions) in the `status` field of +`FlinkDeployment` resources. The `Running` condition gives tooling a consistent, machine-readable signal of whether +the deployment is up and running, directly usable with `kubectl wait`, GitOps controllers, and any tool that speaks +Kubernetes conditions. + +For example, to wait until a deployment is running: + +```shell +kubectl wait flinkdeployment/my-job --for=condition=Running --timeout=120s +``` + +### Logback Logging Support + +The operator now supports **Logback** as an alternative logging framework alongside the existing Log4j2 default. +The active framework is selected at install time via the new `logging.framework` Helm value: + +```shell +helm install flink-operator helm/flink-kubernetes-operator --set logging.framework=logback +``` + +Both `logback-operator.xml` and `logback-console.xml` configuration files are bundled in the Helm chart and can be +customized the same way as the existing Log4j2 properties files. This is particularly useful for organizations that +standardize on Logback or rely on Logback-specific appenders and integrations. + +### Bundled Metric Reporters and Expanded Metrics Documentation + +The operator Helm chart now bundles the `flink-metrics-dropwizard` reporter out of the box, removing the need for users to add the JAR manually when integrating with monitoring stacks that consume Dropwizard metrics. + +The operator metrics documentation has also been substantially reworked: it now explains how operator-scoped metric identifiers are built, documents the `kubernetes.operator.metrics.*` prefix for operator-scoped reporter configuration, and walks through an end-to-end Prometheus monitoring setup. Most importantly, every metric the operator exposes is now documented in one place, with dedicated sections covering `FlinkDeployment` / `FlinkSessionJob` lifecycle and `JobStatus` tracking, `Fli [...] + +### Flink 2.2 Compatibility + +Operator 1.15.0 is fully validated against Apache Flink 2.2. The supported Flink version matrix is: + +**2.2.x, 2.1.x, 2.0.x, 1.20.x, 1.19.x** + +## Notable Bug Fixes + +### Savepoint and State Management + +- Fixed a race condition where a savepoint or last-state upgrade could lose job state when the JobManager was slow to + start. +- Fixed an issue where savepoint history entries were removed from the status before the savepoint file was + successfully disposed, which could leave orphaned savepoint files on the filesystem. +- Terminal (FINISHED / FAILED) jobs are no longer erroneously restarted by the cluster/job health check, eliminating + unexpected job restarts after intentional completion. + +### Session Job Reliability + +- Added a new configuration option to cancel a running session job when the `FlinkSessionJob` resource is deleted, + rather than blocking on the finalizer indefinitely. +- Improved the session job deletion flow so that cleanup proceeds correctly even when the session cluster is + temporarily unreachable. +- Fixed a bug where `FlinkSessionJob` deletion could get stuck behind a finalizer that was never cleared. +- Fixed missing `ownerReferences` on JobManager Deployments recreated during session cluster recovery, ensuring + proper garbage collection. + +## Release Notes + +The release notes can be found [here](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12315522&version=12356676). + +## Release Resources + +The source artifacts and helm chart are available on the Downloads page of the Flink website.
