Hi Danny, I'm wondering if it makes more sense to start with version 3.0.0 (like we did with Elasticsearch) to avoid possible confusion about a Flink 2.0 release. I have no strong opinion on that topic though.
+1 for the plans otherwise. For my understanding, that would imply that before the Flink 1.17 release you would move out Amazon Kinesis Data Streams + Firehose from Flink, correct?
