Please read these notes carefully if you are +planning to upgrade your Flink version to 1.13. + +### Failover + +#### Remove state.backend.async option. + +##### [FLINK-21935](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21935) + +The `state.backend.async` option is deprecated. Snapshots are always asynchronous now (as they were +by default before) and there is no option to configure a synchronous snapshot any more. + +The constructors of `FsStateBackend` and `MemoryStateBackend` that take a flag for sync/async +snapshots are kept for API compatibility, but the flags are ignored now. + +#### Unify binary format for Keyed State savepoints + +##### [FLINK-20976](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20976) + +Flink’s savepoint binary format is unified across all state backends. That means you can take a +savepoint with one state backend and then restore it using another. + +If you want to switch the state backend you should first upgrade your Flink version to 1.13, then +take a savepoint with the new version, and only after that, you can restore it with a different +state backend. + +#### FailureRateRestartBackoffTimeStrategy allows one less restart than configured + +##### [FLINK-20752](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20752) + +The Failure Rate Restart Strategy was allowing 1 less restart per interval than configured. Users +wishing to keep the current behavior should reduce the maximum number of allowed failures per +interval by 1. + +#### Support rescaling for Unaligned Checkpoints + +##### [FLINK-17979](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17979) + +While recovering from unaligned checkpoints, users can now change the parallelism of the job. This +change allows users to quickly upscale the job under backpressure. + +### SQL + +#### Officially deprecate the legacy planner + +##### [FLINK-21709](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21709) + +The old planner of the Table & SQL API is deprecated and will be dropped in Flink 1.14. This means +that both the BatchTableEnvironment and DataSet API interop are reaching end of life. Use the +unified TableEnvironment for batch and stream processing with the new planner, or the DataStream API +in batch execution mode. + +#### Disable problematic cast conversion between NUMERIC type and TIMESTAMP type + +##### [FLINK-21698](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21698) + +The CAST operation between `NUMERIC` type and `TIMESTAMP` type is problematic and is disabled now, +e.g. +`CAST(numeric AS TIMESTAMP(3))` is disabled and should use `TO_TIMESTAMP(FROM_UNIXTIME(numeric))` +instead. + +#### Support USE MODULES syntax + +##### [FLINK-21298](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21298) + +The term MODULES is a reserved keyword now. Use backticks to escape column names and other +identifiers with this name. + +#### Update TableResult.collect()/TableResult.print() to the new type system + +##### [FLINK-20613](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-20613) + +`Table.execute().collect()` might return slightly different results for column types and row kind. Review comment: The most important differences include: - Structured types are represented as POJOs of the original class and not `Row` anymore. - Raw types are serialized according to the configuration in `TableConfig`. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
