Thomas Weise commented on FLINK-12847:
--------------------------------------
I prefer we do the 1.x update to get the license change. That will allow to
make the other changes that have to do with the build and are much lower risk
then some of the code changes needed for 2.0. Those changes need a lot more
discussion and most importantly testing (at scale).
> Update Kinesis Connectors to latest Apache licensed libraries
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-12847
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12847
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors / Kinesis
> Reporter: Dyana Rose
> Assignee: Dyana Rose
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.10.0
>
>
> Currently the referenced Kinesis Client Library and Kinesis Producer Library
> code in the flink-connector-kinesis is licensed under the Amazon Software
> License which is not compatible with the Apache License. This then requires a
> fair amount of work in the CI pipeline and for users who want to use the
> flink-connector-kinesis.
> The Kinesis Client Library v2.x and the AWS Java SDK v2.x both are now on the
> Apache 2.0 license.
> [https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/blob/master/LICENSE.txt]
> [https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java-v2/blob/master/LICENSE.txt]
> There is a PR for the Kinesis Producer Library to update it to the Apache 2.0
> license ([https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-producer/pull/256])
> The task should include, but not limited to, upgrading KCL/KPL to new
> versions of Apache 2.0 license, changing licenses and NOTICE files in
> flink-connector-kinesis, and adding flink-connector-kinesis to build, CI and
> artifact publishing pipeline, updating the build profiles, updating
> documentation that references the license incompatibility
> The expected outcome of this issue is that the flink-connector-kinesis will
> be included with the standard build artifacts and will no longer need to be
> built separately by users.
