Hi everyone, it has already been a couple of weeks since we released Flink 1.5.3 and Flink 1.6.0. In both release branches are important bug fixes from which our users can benefit (1.5.4: 23 resolved issues, 1.6.1: 60 resolved issues). Therefore, I propose to create the next bug fix release for Flink 1.5 and 1.6.
Most notable fixes are: FLINK-10255 (Standby Dispatcher locks submitted JobGraphs), FLINK-10193 (Use proper timeout when triggering savepoint), FLINK-10314 (ExecutionGraph creation can be blocking) and FLINK-10011(Old jobs sometimes get resurrected during HA failover). I would of course volunteer as release manager and kick off the release process once FLINK-10314 has been merged. What do you think? Cheers, Till
