------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the reminder [~iemejia] and [~thw] !
I prefer maintain at most three(Even maintaining two is reasonable) versions of
Flink runner for Apache Beam community, because Apache Flink only support the
current and previous minor release with bugfixes, more detail can be found in
[1]. So, I think its better to maintain the three versions of 1.8/1.9/1.10
after add Flink v1.10 build target to Flink runner.
I'm not sure if it deserves a discussion in the mailing list as it seems that
we already maintain 3 versions of Flink runner in Beam now. Removing Flink
runner 1.7 seems straightward if we upgrade Flink runner to 1.10. However, I'm
not sure what's the policy before and it's great to also hear [~mxm] 's
suggestions? :)
