### What would you like to happen? ### [Flink Runner] Question **Description** Our organization is in the process of updating our Flink clusters to the latest version, Flink 1.18. We currently use `beam-runners-flink-1.16` to run Apache Beam pipelines on our Flink 1.16 cluster. We are concerned that our Beam pipelines will fail after the upgrade due to incompatibility with Flink 1.18. This is based on the information provided at [Beam Website] (https://beam.apache.org/documentation/runners/flink/): **Flink Version Compatibility** section. **Ask** We would like to inquire about the timeline and plans for supporting Apache Flink 1.18 in Apache Beam. Is there an ongoing effort to add compatibility for Flink 1.18, or is it on the roadmap for a future release? **Additional Context** - Our pipelines are critical to our business operations, and we need to ensure a smooth transition during the Flink upgrade. - We are willing to assist or contribute to the effort of adding Flink 1.18 support if guidance is provided on what is needed. **Potential Impact** - Without support for Flink 1.18, we may face significant challenges in maintaining our data processing workflows. - Early information on support timelines will help us plan our upgrade strategy and resource allocation more effectively. **Questions** 1. Is there a planned release date for a version of Beam that supports Flink 1.18? 2. Are there any known workarounds or interim solutions for running Beam pipelines on Flink 1.18? 3. How can the community contribute to accelerating support for Flink 1.18 in Beam? We appreciate any information or guidance the Apache Beam community can provide on this matter. Thank you for your time and support. **eBay** ### Issue Priority Priority: 3 (nice-to-have improvement) ### Issue Components - [ ] Component: Python SDK - [ ] Component: Java SDK - [ ] Component: Go SDK - [ ] Component: Typescript SDK - [ ] Component: IO connector - [ ] Component: Beam YAML - [ ] Component: Beam examples - [ ] Component: Beam playground - [ ] Component: Beam katas - [ ] Component: Website - [ ] Component: Spark Runner - [X] Component: Flink Runner - [ ] Component: Samza Runner - [ ] Component: Twister2 Runner - [ ] Component: Hazelcast Jet Runner - [ ] Component: Google Cloud Dataflow Runner -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
