Hi Arvid, Thank you for the reply. Can you please explain a bit more your concern regarding an earlier bugfix level?
I should have maybe made clear that the HybridSource can be used by updating flink-connector-base in the application jar. It does not require any addition to the runtime and therefore would work on any 1.13.x dist. For reference, I use it internally on top of 1.12.4.
