I would like to start a discussion on releasing 1.15.1. Flink 1.15 was released on the 5th of May [1] and so far 43 issues have been resolved, including several user-facing issues with blocker and critical priorities [2]. (The recent problem with FileSink rolling policies not working properly in 1.15.0 got me thinking it might be time for bug-fix release.)
There currently remain 16 unresolved tickets with a fixVersion of 1.15.1 [3], five of which are about CI infrastructure and tests. There is only one such ticket marked Critical: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-27492 Flink table scala example does not including the scala-api jars I'm not convinced we should hold up a release for this issue, but on the other hand, it seems that this issue can be resolved by making a decision about how to handle the missing dependencies. @Timo Walther <twal...@apache.org> @yun_gao can you give an update? Two other open issues seem to have made significant progress (listed below). Would it make sense to wait for either of these? Are there any other open tickets we should consider waiting for? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-27420 Suspended SlotManager fail to reregister metrics when started again https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-27606 CompileException when using UDAF with merge() method I would volunteer to manage the release. Is there a PMC member who would join me to help, as needed?
