Strictly speaking this is a breaking change. However, it is not clear to me if there are any Flink users at all that require a custom `RestartStrategy`. I think it makes sense to start a discussion on the dev mailing list. Until it is clear that users require this level of customization, I think we should provide users a way to write their own back off time strategy. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
