Hi everyone,
To aid with testing and to enable everyone to get a preview of what will likely
be the next Flink release I created an RC0. This has all the artefacts that we
would normally have for a release except a source-code tag and a PR for the
release announcement, we just don't vote. I'm quite confident that this works
well except for a bug in Flink/Kafka that Stefan (cc'ed) discovered that leads
to violating exactly-once semantics when using the new Kafka 0.11 exactly-once
producer.
Pro-tip: you can create a settings.xml file with these contents:
<settings>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>flink-1.4.0</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>flink-1.4.0</id>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>flink-1.4.0</id>
<url>
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheflink-1138/
</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>archetype</id>
<url>
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheflink-1138/
</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>
And reference that in you maven commands via --settings path/to/settings.xml.
This is useful for creating a quickstart based on the staged release and also
for building against the staged jars.
Thanks,
Your friendly Release Manager
