I've kicked off a discussion about the next flink-shaded release, and
have opened PRs for adding the opt-in profile to 1.8/1.9.

That's great, thank you very much! Ideally, we can kick off the release
vote for the first RC of 1.8.3 within next week. :)

I'm not aware of any more planned changes to flink-shaded; so we could

Hi,
@Chesnay Thanks a lot for the explanation. +1 to the opt-in approach for
1.8/1.9.
@Ufuk Thank you for the nice summary.
Looks good so far except that we need to postpone 1.8.3 a bit to first
do a
flink-shaded release.
BTW, @chesnay when would we plan to release the flink-shaded with
upgraded
Jackson?
Best, Hequn

One small modification: the flink-shaded upgrade does not have to be
part of the profile; since it is only intended for internal use anyway
(and thus has limited exposure) we can be pretty sure this doesn't break
anything.

Ufuk's summary is correct.
There's a slight caveat in that we'd also have to bump the
shade-plugin to 3.1.1 since it otherwise fails on jackson,
but I have no concerns about this change.

The opt-in approach seems reasonable to me. +1 to include the
profiles in
1.8 and 1.9 without changing the default versions (including the
default
version of flink-shaded).
As far as I can tell, the next steps would be:
1) Release flink-shaded with upgraded Jackson
2a) Bump the flink-shaded version by default in master
2b) Create opt-in profiles for 1.8 and 1.9 (the opt-in profiles
should also
cover the upgrade to the most recent flink-shaded version)
@Chesnay: is this a correct summary?
Note this would block the 1.8.3 release on step 1. As an upside, we
might
get some additional feedback until the 1.10 release with these
profiles in
case users make use of them with 1.8/1.9.

The opt-in approach would only be used for 1.8.3 / 1.9.2; on master
(and
thus starting from 1.10.0) it's not opt-in.
I have only proposed it as an opt-in because a) we usually do not
bump
dependencies in bugfix releases and b) it's a short-term change that
we
aren't allowing to mature properly.
In contrast, the 1.10 release is significantly further away, hence no
opt-in.
Hence, I'm not concerned about such kind of ugprades being more
common
in the future.
We can certainly support every jackson version that fixes these
vulnerabilities; individual modules can always use a different
version
(that hopefully includes the fixes).
Ideally of course we'd only be using 1 version, but that may or may
not
be feasible.

Hi Chesnay,
Great to hear that jackson-2.10.1 works well on master. Really a
good
job!
- Whether backport this change to 1.8/1.9
I had taken a quick look at the security vulnerabilities, some of
them
seem can lead to high-security problems, thus from my point of view,
I'm in favor of adding the fix into 1.9/1.8. However, I would like
to
trust your judgment as you are more professional at this problem.
- How to port this change to 1.8/1.9
I think providing an opt-in upgrade is a good idea. Another question
here is whether do we plan to support multi jackson versions that
have
eliminated the security vulnerabilities. If we only plan to support
2.10.1, I would like to make it a non-opt-in upgrade. As an option,
users can downgrade the flink version if meet problems using the new
version. Of course, we will try our best to make the new release out
of question.
Another concern of making it an opt-in upgrade is, it will make our
build unlikely convergence as more and more build options will be
added when we upgrade a commonly used lib like this one.
What do you think?
Best, Hequn

So here's the state of things:
The master of flink-shaded now uses jackson 2.10.1, which
eliminates a whole category of security vulnerabilities.
The flink master works perfectly fine with that version; 1.9
will
likely do so too and 1.8 would require a minor adjustment.
Hence, there may be value in first doing a flink-shaded
release so
we can eliminate these vulnerabilities in 1.8.3 and 1.9.2 .
As for other jackson dependencies (coming from calcite, kafka,
kinesis), I ran the unit and end-to-end tests of master
yesterday
will /all /jackson dependencies set to 2.10.1, and they
passed. I
will open a PR soon-ish for making this change on master.
The question now is whether we want to backport this change to
1.8/1.9 .
Some code paths /may /not be covered by our tests, and
transitive
jackson users /might /run into issues.
Alternatively, we could set this up as an opt-in upgrade, by
adding a separate profile that bumps the versions. This would
present users/providers who are concerned about the
vulnerabilities an easy workaround, at the risk of /some
/things
/maybe /not working.

Hi Flink devs,
It has been more than 2 months since the 1.8.2 released.
So,
What do
you
think about releasing Flink 1.8.3 soon?
We already have many important bug fixes in the
release-1.8
branch (29
resolved issues).
Most notable fixes are:
- FLINK-14010 Dispatcher & JobManagers don't give up
leadership
when AM
is
shut down
- FLINK-14315 NPE with JobMaster.disconnectTaskManager
- FLINK-12848 Method equals() in RowTypeInfo should
consider
fieldsNames
- FLINK-12342 Yarn Resource Manager Acquires Too Many
Containers
- FLINK-14589 Redundant slot requests with the same
AllocationID leads
to
inconsistent slot table
Furthermore, the following critical issues is in progress,
maybe we can
wait for it if it is not too much effort.
- FLINK-13184 Starting a TaskExecutor blocks the
YarnResourceManager's
main
thread
Please let me know what you think?
Best,
Jincheng
