Hi,
I’m also in favour of at least dropping support for Kafka 0.8.
More generally, I think we have to be careful when recommending to use Flink
connectors from older versions with a newer Flink versions. The interfaces
might be stable but they might use internal code that is not stable, as show
I second Stephan here. Moreover, given that the source and sink interfaces
are public API, it should still be possible to take the Kafka 0.8/0.9
connector from a previous Flink version and run it with a newer version.
Cheers,
Till

I think this is very hypothetical, requiring a major version bump to drop
an old connector version. What is the actual problem that would arise for
users?
We have not required a major version to drop some old connectors that in
the past, and if we want to continue "mono repo" style in Flink, I don
Thanks for bringing this up, Stephan.
I am +1 on dropping support for Kafka 0.8. It is a pretty old version and I
don't think there are many users on that version now.
However, for Kafka 0.9, I think there are still quite some users on that
version. It might be better to keep it a little longer.

I would suggest to drop those with Flink 1.10 and start supporting only
Kafka 0.10 onwards.
Are there any concerns about this, or still a significant number of
users of these versions?

Hi all!
We still maintain connectors for Kafka 0.8 and 0.9 in Flink.
I would suggest to drop those with Flink 1.10 and start supporting only
Kafka 0.10 onwards.
Are there any concerns about this, or still a significant number of users
of these versions?
Best,
