I'm currently working on FLINK-3239 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3239> (support Kerberos on the Kafka connector).
I almost have a working prototype, however now I have a doubt regarding how to properly merge my code (when done): right now I'm working on a branch out of the 1.0.x release branch (apparently I could not start a cluster to test on my setup because of FLINK-3824 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3824>). I'll have to make some minor change to adapt it to the master branch (it's just a few lines of code but some of the code I had to touch have been moved in the BootstrapTool.java source file); at this point I'd like to make it available for both the master and the 1.0.x release branch. Is there any established process to handle a case like this? Is there a development branch for releases? Should I perform a PR directly onto the 1.0.x branch? I would assume the latter is unadvisable, just asking if that's the case. -- BR, Stefano Baghino Software Engineer @ Radicalbit
