Thomas Weise commented on BEAM-5419:
------------------------------------
We should provide binaries for 1.6.x for the next release. I see that EMR now
supports 1.6.1:
[https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ReleaseGuide/emr-flink.html] - Bigtop
on the other hand is still at 1.4x:

> Build multiple versions of the Flink Runner against different Flink versions
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: BEAM-5419
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-5419
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: build-system, runner-flink
> Reporter: Maximilian Michels
> Assignee: Maximilian Michels
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.10.0
>
>
> Following up on a discussion on the mailing list.
> We want to keep the Flink version stable across different versions to avoid
> upgrade pain for long-term users. At the same time, there are users out there
> with newer Flink clusters and developers also want to utilize new Flink
> features.
> It would be great to build multiple versions of the Flink Runner against
> different Flink versions.
> When the upgrade is as simple as changing the version property in the build
> script, this should be pretty straight-forward. If not, having a "base
> version" and applying a patch during the build could be an option. We should
> avoid duplicating any Runner code.
