> @AHeise Thanks for the reply. I totally understand the pain points of maintain multiple flink version compatibility for a connector. In each Flink release, there are always some new experimental interfaces in api or runtime introduced. Shall we consider the solution from Apache Hudi or Apache Iceberg? Both of them use a separate module for different flink versions. Some classes are replicated into different modules as needed. https://github.com/apache/hudi/tree/master/hudi-flink-datasource This sounds like a maintenance nightmare. Having separate branches sounds much better to me. Hudi needs to do it because they have their own release cycle independent of Flink. But the connector can correlate the release cycle to the Flink version, so we don't need to resort to such hackery. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
