Hi All! I would like to revive an old ticket <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9849> and discussion around upgrading the HBase version of the connector.
The current HBase version is 1.4.3 which is over 2 years old at this point and incompatible with the newer HBase versions used at many companies. We propose to upgrade the connector to the latest version and drop support for the old version starting from the 1.12 Flink release. This would help us maintain and improve the HBase connector over time. If the community agrees we are happy to contribute this upgrade as we have already developed and tested the updated version. Cheers, Gyula
