Hello all, I would like to start discussing the first release of the new Amazon DynamoDB sink connector [1], along with the new AWS connector parent [2] at version 2.0.0. As per the connector versioning strategy [3] from the new flink-connector-aws repository [4]. We are aiming to create the release candidate within the next 2 weeks. There are a few testing and project tasks to wrap up first [5], however I want to start this discussion ahead of time.
I propose that we release 2.0.0 with support for Flink 1.15 and 1.16 (2.0.0-1.15, 2.0.0-1.16). Following this, we will drop support for Flink 1.15 and externalise Amazon Kinesis Data Streams/Firehose and AWS connector base in 3.0.0 [6]. We are starting at version 2.0.0 to avoid confusion with the core Flink version, inline with other externalized connector repositories. I nominate myself as the release manager.
