Hi Aljoscha, I agree that the coming PyFlink package of 1.10 is enough for users who just want to try out the latest version of PyFlink. However, I think that there are also cases where the old versions are useful. Usually users tend to prepare their development environment according to the version of the cluster. Suppose that the Flink cluster version is 1.9, then users may want to install the package of PyFlink 1.9. Even if he installs the 1.10 package from the PyPI, it will fail in cases that he tries to submit the Python job to the 1.9 cluster using the python shell shipped with the 1.10 package. (The reason is that the JobGraph of 1.10 is incompatible with the JobGraph of 1.9)
As the 1.9.2 is already released, considering that publishing it to PyPI requires not too much efforts(I have already prepared the package), personally I think it worths to do that. What's your thought? :) Best, Jincheng Aljoscha Krettek <aljos...@apache.org> 于2020年2月4日周二 下午4:00写道： > Hi, > > I think that's a good idea, but we will also soon have Flink 1.10 anyways. > > Best, > Aljoscha > > On 04.02.20 07:25, Hequn Cheng wrote: > > Hi Jincheng, > > > > +1 for this proposal. > > From the perspective of users, I think it would nice to have PyFlink on > > PyPI which makes it much easier to install PyFlink. > > > > Best, Hequn > > > > On Tue, Feb 4, 2020 at 1:09 PM Jeff Zhang <zjf...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > >> +1 > >> > >> > >> Xingbo Huang <hxbks...@gmail.com> 于2020年2月4日周二 下午1:07写道： > >> > >>> Hi Jincheng, > >>> > >>> Thanks for driving this. > >>> +1 for this proposal. > >>> > >>> Compared to building from source, downloading directly from PyPI will > >>> greatly save the development cost of Python users. > >>> > >>> Best, > >>> Xingbo > >>> > >>> > >>> > >>> Wei Zhong <weizhong0...@gmail.com> 于2020年2月4日周二 下午12:43写道： > >>> > >>>> Hi Jincheng, > >>>> > >>>> Thanks for bring up this discussion! > >>>> > >>>> +1 for this proposal.
