Hi Jing, Yes I agree that if we can get them resolved then that would be ideal.
I guess the worry is that at 1.17, we had a released Flink core and Kafka connector. At 1.18 we will have a released Core Flink but no new Kafka connector. So the last released Kafka connector would now be https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.flink/flink-connector-kafka/3.0.0-1.17 which should be the same as the Kafka connector in 1.17. I guess this is the combination that people would pick up to deploy in production – and I assume this has been tested. This issues with the nightly builds refers to kafka connector main branch. If they are not regressions, you are suggesting that pragmatically we go forward with the release; I think that makes sense to do, but do these issues effect 3.0.0.-1.117. I suspect we should release a new Kafka connector asap, so we have a matching connector built outside of the Flink repo. We may want to not include the Flink core version in the connector – or we might end up wanting to release a Kafka connector when there are no changes just to have a match with the Flink core version. Kind regards, David.

Secondly, it makes less sense to block upstream release by downstream build issues. In case, those issues might need more time, we should move forward with the Flink release without waiting for them. WDYT?
