Hi guys, thanks for picking up this PR and running with it. I think we
should separate the "official" Docker images issue from this PR. This PR was
about just simply improving the existing Docker tooling and making it easier
for Flink developers to build their own images, maybe with their own tweaks, or
specifying specific Flink releases to build the image from.
On the "official" images topic I'm totally fine with either approach. dA
could do this and maintain those official images or we could do it as part of
Flink and the community can maintain them. The main thing for me is just
seeing that it's super easy for people to get Flink running with Docker and
there is some accepted "official" image for people to grab rather than wading
through a bunch of Flink images generated by various people. That's bad for
the user experience.
Regardless, let's figure out separately how best to get an official image
on DockerHub and get this change finished up because I think the changes here
are useful as is.
