Nagesh Honnalli commented on FLINK-12847:
-----------------------------------------
Would the connector changes be pushed such that they can be used by older
versions of Flink - say 1.6?
> Update Kinesis Connectors to latest Apache licensed libraries

> Key: FLINK-12847
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12847
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors / Kinesis
> Reporter: Dyana Rose
> Assignee: Dyana Rose
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently the referenced Kinesis Client Library and Kinesis Producer Library
> code in the flink-connector-kinesis is licensed under the Amazon Software
> License which is not compatible with the Apache License. This then requires a
> fair amount of work in the CI pipeline and for users who want to use the
> flink-connector-kinesis.
> The Kinesis Client Library v2.x and the AWS Java SDK v2.x both are now on the
> Apache 2.0 license.
> [https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/blob/master/LICENSE.txt]
> [https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java-v2/blob/master/LICENSE.txt]
> There is a PR for the Kinesis Producer Library to update it to the Apache 2.0
> license ([https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-producer/pull/256])
> The task should include, but not limited to, upgrading KCL/KPL to new
> versions of Apache 2.0 license, changing licenses and NOTICE files in
> flink-connector-kinesis, and adding flink-connector-kinesis to build, CI and
> artifact publishing pipeline, updating the build profiles, updating
> documentation that references the license incompatibility
> The expected outcome of this issue is that the flink-connector-kinesis will
> be included with the standard build artifacts and will no longer need to be
> built separately by users.
