Hey all, I would like to start the discussion for kicking off the next bug fix release, Flink 1.1.4. What do you think about aiming for a RC by end of this week?
Users reported some instabilities/inconveniences that would be good to fix. Personally, I would like to backport the following fixes: (1) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4619: Answer client if savepoint restore fails (Already merged for master, needs minimal adjustment for 1.1) (2) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4715: Safety net for stuck task cancellation (Already reviewed for master, waiting for tests to finish of backport) (3) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4510: Always create CheckpointCoordinator (Already merged for master, needs minimal adjustments for 1.1) Furthermore, I would like to address the following: (4) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4445: Add option to ignore unmatched state when restoring from savepoint (5) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4894: Don't block on buffer request after broadcast event Strictly speaking, the (4) is not a bug fix. But given that it would only add an optional flag to savepoint restoring and should have been addressed for 1.1.0 already, I would like to get it in.
