Hey Alan, as Marton said your contribution is more than welcome. :-)
The discussion around moving some contributions outside of the main repository did never come to a final conclusion. Therefore, we currently have most of the connectors inside of main Flink repo. As long as there is no concrete proposal or guide line about what we keep in Flink and what not, I think it's best to contribute it directly to Flink. – Ufuk On Wed, Jul 6, 2016 at 5:14 PM, Alan Gates <alanfga...@gmail.com> wrote: > I’d like to work on creating a Flink Sink for Hive’s streaming ingest[1]. > But I recall recently seeing a message on the dev list about moving some of > the third party connectors out of Flink as devs were having problems > maintaining them.
