Hi Folks, I just had an idea that I want to try now. The idea is to give little HEADS-UP emails roughly at the beginning of each week. I would give a very short summary of the big points that I want to work on for that week and if others want to jump in they can also quickly outline what they are doing.
The reason I'm proposing this is that it can be hard to follow what is going on in Flink. One could try and follow all the Jira issues and see who is assigned to what but that would only give a rough indication. Currently, people are working away on a new feature, sometimes for several weeks, until they make a big code drop in a PR. I though it would be nice to know roughly who's doing what. This would also give people the opportunity to get involved in something if they find it interesting. If people find this interesting I'll try and do this every week from now on. Here goes my first heads-up: This (and the last weeks) week Stefan and I have been working on the issues around https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3755. We were mostly resurrecting an old PR from Till. Now we got it into good shape, we just opened a big PR (https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2376) that introduces API for key-groups and support in some layers. For the rest of the week, we're planning to refactor the state backends to make them work with key-group aware state. Happy coding :-) Aljoscha
