Hi devs, As the vote for FlinkCDC 3.2 release was unanimously approved, it's a good time to kick off the upcoming Flink CDC 3.3 release cycle. In the previous version, we improved the compatibility of table schema changes. In this release cycle, We plan to develop in these directions:
1) Expand the upstream and downstream data systems that Flink CDC YAML can configure, such as Kafka Source and JDBC Sink; 2) Explore the integration of AI models, provide the ability to generate text and vector data through the transform module; 3) Expand the data synchronization pipeline to support batch synchronization scenarios. To ensure that we can complete the above plan, we plan to complete the development of Flink CDC 3.3 by October 31, 2024. For developers that are interested in participating and contributing new features in this release cycle, please feel free to list your planning features in this mail thread and we will trace them in the wiki page [1]. I have participated in some development work in the community in the past two major versions and am very interested in the development plan for version 3.3. So I volunteer to become the release manager for this version, and of course open to work together with someone on this. What do you think? Best, Yanquan [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/Flink+CDC+3.3+Release
