Seth Wiesman commented on FLINK-13414: -------------------------------------- And FWIW I am strongly in favor of removing scala from the user code classloader. Scala 3.0 has begun releasing milestone candidates and is expected to stabilize this year. It has a brand new [macro system|http://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/metaprogramming/macros.html] that is not compatible with scala 2.x, meaning that will also be a large effort when we decide to support that target. Removing scala from the classloader will allow using Flink's java API from any scala version which I think would remove the pressure on the committers to maintain so many cross builds and give users a path if they want to upgrade more aggressively than the community. > Add support for Scala 2.13 > -------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-13414 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-13414 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: API / Scala > Reporter: Chaoran Yu > Priority: Major > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
