Hi all,
As part of the Flink 2.4 release preparation (release planned for November 20), we are collecting information for cross-team testing. The release team tracks this on the following Jira ticket [1]. What we need from FLIP authors For each FLIP targeted at 2.4 and listed on the ticket [1], could the author please: 1. Confirm whether the FLIP calls for release-level (cross-team) testing.A short comment on the ticket is enough, including "no testing needed". 2. If testing is needed, provide a testing instruction document before the RC cycle starts.It should let someone unfamiliar with the feature verify it. Please include: - A short summary of the feature - Setup and prerequisites (configuration, connectors, environment) - Concrete test scenarios, including edge or failure cases where relevant - Expected results and how to verify them - Known limitations or out-of-scope items Please link the document on the ticket so testers can find it in one place. Why this matters Without confirmation and instructions, we cannot organize testing for the feature, and untested features put the quality of the 2.4 release at risk. FLIPs with significant risks that cannot be resolved in time may be excluded from 2.4. Call for help from committers and contributors We have not been able to reach some of the FLIP authors yet, which is understandable given how busy everyone is. If you know or work with any of the authors listed on the ticket [1], it would be a big help if you could pass on the two requests above. To avoid duplicate outreach, a short note on the ticket after you contact someone would be much appreciated. Call for testers Once an instruction document is available, a testing subtask will be created for that FLIP. We would like to invite contributors and committers, especially those who did not work on the feature, to pick up a subtask and test it. Please report any mismatch between the document and the actual behavior on the subtask, and we will pass it back to the author. If you have any questions, or if a FLIP on the list should not be there, please leave a comment on the ticket [1]. Thank you for your help!
